What is CICS Interdependency Analyzer ? CICS Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS (CICS IA)

Run-time and batch reporting tool

Captures resource relationships such as

what programs have potential affinities due to the CICS API commands within them

which resources (Programs, Files, TSQs TDQs etc) are required by a transaction

what resources are no longer used

which transactions have affinities to other transactions and the type and lifetimes of these affinities

the sequencing of transactions within an application

which transactions have affinities to particular CICS regions

Includes CICS, DB2, WebSphere MQ and IMS DB resources

Relationship data loaded onto a DB2 data base

Query interface and sample queries provided for comprehensive analysis

What is CICS Configuration Manager? CICS Configuration Manager for z/OS

Provides the ability to manage CICS resource definitions including

Create, Update, Delete, Copy, Replicate

Provides the ability to “change manage” definitional change through the various user environments (e.g. Development, Test, Production)

Provides the ability create customized reports, enabling users to identify redundant definitions, resource relationships, change management history

Provides audit, back-out and change authorization capabilities

Helps IT Managers, System Programmers and Application Developers to be more productive, as it: Greatly simplifies the task of managing new application development

through test and deployment

Speeds version to version migrations of both CICS and CICS apps

Simplifies CICS systems administration thus lowering costs and reducing downtime due to administrative errors
