Product Overview

PurePath for z/OS CICS was designed to provide transaction tracing and monitoring for CICS environments. The architecture likely consisted of several key components: an agent running within the CICS region to capture transaction data, a central server responsible for processing and storing the collected data, and a user interface for analyzing and visualizing the performance metrics. The agent captured data related to transaction start and end times, CPU usage, I/O operations, and calls to other CICS programs or external systems.

Communication between components likely occurred over TCP/IP. The central server may have used a database or other storage mechanism to persist the collected data. While specific API details are unavailable, monitoring tools often expose REST-based APIs for data retrieval and integration with other systems.

Given that PurePath for z/OS CICS is no longer supported, organizations should consider alternatives such as IBM Z OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite, CA SYSVIEW Performance Management, BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS, or IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS. These alternatives offer similar architectural components and functionalities for CICS monitoring.
