Product Overview

ESRA/CICS's architecture comprised several key components designed for automated CICS performance monitoring. The main components included a data collection module, an analysis engine, and a reporting interface. The data collection module gathered performance metrics from CICS transactions, such as response times, CPU usage, and I/O operations.

The analysis engine processed this data, identifying anomalies and potential performance bottlenecks based on predefined thresholds. The reporting interface provided a means to view and analyze the collected data, including detailed information about detected problems. Communication between components occurred through internal z/OS mechanisms.

Data was stored using internal storage mechanisms. The product did not expose external APIs. The product is no longer supported.

Users should consider alternative monitoring solutions. Key competitors included IBM and BMC. The primary technical difference was ESRA/CICS's integration with Omegamon for CICS.

The product's key feature was automated problem detection and data recording for CICS response time issues.
