Product Overview
The TBSM architecture was a distributed system designed to monitor IT resources from a business perspective. The main components included a Windows Server, Java clients, and a z/OS component. The Windows Server acted as the central hub, hosting the core application and using Microsoft SQL Server for data storage.
The Java clients provided the GUI interface, allowing users on Windows and UNIX systems to access monitoring data. The z/OS component was responsible for collecting and transmitting resource information from z/OS systems. Communication between the components was facilitated through network protocols, though the specific protocols are not detailed in the available information.
The Windows Server communicated with the z/OS component to receive data. The database, Microsoft SQL Server, stored all the collected data. The GUI accessed the data from the database.
TBSM integrated with NetView on z/OS for monitoring components like DB2, IMS, and Tivoli Systems Automation. The system automatically detected resources like IMS databases and DB2 tables. The GUI screens were accessed from Java clients.
The product did not expose any APIs. Because TBSM is no longer supported, organizations should migrate to a modern IT operations management solution.
