Using IBM z/OS WLM to Measure Mobile and Other Workloads by IBM Client Center Montpellier,Nigel Williams,Olivier Boehler,Philippe Bruschet,Francois Capristo,Alexis Chretienne,Stéphane Faure,Richard Gamblin,Fabrice Jarassat,Arnaud Mante,Irene Stahl,IBM Redbooks Pdf

This IBM® RedpaperTM publication discusses the need to monitor and measure different workloads, especially mobile workloads. It introduces the workload classification capabilities of IBM z SystemsTM platforms and helps you to understand how recent enhancements to IBM MVSTM Workload Management (WLM) and other IBM software products can be used to measure the processor cost of mobile workloads. This paper looks at how mobile-initiated and other transactions in IBM CICS®, IMSTM, DB2®, and WebSphere® Application Server can be "tagged and tracked" using WLM. For each of these subsystems, the options for classifying mobile requests and using WLM to measure mobile workloads are reviewed. A scenario is considered in which a bank is witnessing a significant growth in mobile initiated transactions, and wants to monitor and measure the mobile channels more closely. This paper outlines how the bank can use WLM to do this. This publication can help you to configure WLM mobile classification rules. It can also help you to interpret Workload Activity reports from IBM RMFTM Post Processor and to report on the CPU consumption of different workloads, including mobile and public cloud workloads.

IBM z/OS Mainframe Security and Audit Management Using the IBM Security zSecure Suite by Axel Buecker,Michael Cairns,Monique Conway,Mark S. Hahn,Deborah McLemore,Jamie Pease,Lili Xie,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Every organization has a core set of mission-critical data that must be protected. Security lapses and failures are not simply disruptions—they can be catastrophic events, and the consequences can be felt across the entire organization. As a result, security administrators face serious challenges in protecting the company's sensitive data. IT staff are challenged to provide detailed audit and controls documentation at a time when they are already facing increasing demands on their time, due to events such as mergers, reorganizations, and other changes. Many organizations do not have enough experienced mainframe security administrators to meet these objectives, and expanding employee skillsets with low-level mainframe security technologies can be time-consuming. The IBM® Security zSecure suite consists of multiple components designed to help you administer your mainframe security server, monitor for threats, audit usage and configurations, and enforce policy compliance. Administration, provisioning, and management components can significantly reduce administration, contributing to improved productivity, faster response time, and reduced training time needed for new administrators. This IBM Redbooks® publication is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who wish to better understand their mainframe security solutions.

CICS Transaction Server from Start to Finish by Chris Rayns,Sarah Bertram,George Bogner,Chris Carlin,Andre Clark,Amy Ferrell,Gordon Keehn,Peter Klein,Ronald Lee,Erhard Woerner,IBM Redbooks Pdf

In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we discuss CICS®, which stands for Customer Information Control System. It is a general-purpose transaction processing subsystem for the z/OS® operating system. CICS provides services for running an application online where, users submit requests to run applications simultaneously. CICS manages sharing resources, the integrity of data, and prioritizes execution with fast response. CICS authorizes users, allocates resources (real storage and cycles), and passes on database requests by the application to the appropriate database manager, such as DB2®. We review the history of CICS and why it was created. We review the CICS architecture and discuss how to create an application in CICS. CICS provides a secure, transactional environment for applications that are written in several languages. We discuss the CICS-supported languages and each language's advantages in this Redbooks publication. We analyze situations from a system programmer's viewpoint, including how the systems programmer can use CICS facilities and services to customize the system, design CICS for recovery, and manage performance. CICS Data access and where the data is stored, including Temporary storage queues, VSAM RLS, DB2, IMSTM, and many others are also discussed.
