Many consumer facing applications still rely on the mainframe as a system of record, but most market-leading APM solutions do not offer visibility once a transaction hits the mainframe. If a problem has occurred on the mainframe, application owners must pull together all Z SMEs to triage the issue while end users remain impacted. IBM Z APM Connect helps create a true end-to-end APM experience by bringing mainframe transactional data into well-loved APM solutions, like AppDynamics. Application operations teams can better pinpoint where the problem lies on the mainframe and dramatically reduce mean time to repair by contacting the right Z SME for quicker resolution.
