Product Overview

Synchro's architecture is designed to provide centralized control and automation for CICS operations across multiple regions. The system comprises three main components: a central control component, agent components deployed in each CICS region, and a data repository. The central control component manages the overall system, providing a single interface for monitoring resource status, executing commands, and configuring CICS regions.

Agent components are deployed in each CICS region, enabling communication with the central control component and execution of commands. The data repository stores configuration data, operational history, and audit logs. Synchro supports authentication methods such as LDAP and Kerberos, ensuring secure access to CICS resources.

The system employs a role-based access control (RBAC) model, allowing administrators to define roles with specific permissions. Communication between components is encrypted using TLS, and data stored in the repository is encrypted using AES. Synchro's APIs support REST and SOAP protocols, enabling integration with other systems and custom automation scripts.

The administrative interface, accessible via a CLI and web console, allows for configuration of CICS regions, resources, and security policies. Synchro's monitoring capabilities provide real-time visibility into the status of CICS resources, enabling proactive identification and resolution of potential issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary functions of Synchro?

Synchro provides dynamic control over CICS resources, acting as a central point of control for multiple CICS regions. It automates CICS operations by allowing users to run commands across multiple regions simultaneously.

How does Synchro manage CICS regions and resources?

Synchro uses configuration files to define CICS regions and resources. The administrative interface allows users to define and manage these configurations.

How does Synchro handle user management and access control?

Synchro supports user management through its administrative interface, allowing administrators to define user roles and permissions. Access control is likely role-based (RBAC), where permissions are assigned to roles.

What are the key architectural components of Synchro?

Synchro's architecture includes components for command execution, resource monitoring, and communication with CICS regions. These components communicate through internal APIs and messaging systems.
