CA APAS Insight

The architecture of CA APAS Insight comprised several key components designed to monitor and analyze ADABAS database performance on z/OS and zVSE/VSEn platforms. The data collector was responsible for gathering performance metrics from the ADABAS database. This component collected data such as response times, resource utilization, and transaction rates.

The analysis engine processed the collected data, performing calculations and identifying performance bottlenecks. This engine used algorithms to analyze the data and generate insights. The reporting module presented the analyzed data through reports and dashboards.

These reports provided detailed views of database performance, enabling users to identify areas for optimization. The CLI provided a command-line interface for administrative tasks. Users could start and stop the monitoring service, configure data collection, and generate reports using commands such as `APAS CONFIG` to modify settings.

Configuration files were used to define monitoring parameters, including data collection intervals and report settings. The tool integrated with the mainframe security system for authentication and access control, leveraging role-based permissions to manage user access. The communication between components used a proprietary protocol, with specific ports and network requirements depending on the system configuration.

Since the product is not supported, organizations should migrate to alternative solutions.
