Product Overview

PurePath for z/OS Java employed an agent-based architecture for monitoring Java applications on z/OS. Agents deployed within Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) intercepted and recorded Java method calls. These agents communicated with a central server, transmitting collected data for analysis and visualization.

The central server provided a user interface for exploring transaction traces and identifying performance issues. Key components included: 1. **Java Agents:** Deployed within JVMs to intercept and record method calls.

2. **Central Server:** Received data from agents, performed analysis, and provided a user interface. 3.

**Configuration Files:** Specified Java classes and methods to be monitored. The agents required careful configuration to minimize their impact on the performance of the monitored Java applications. Overly aggressive tracing could introduce overhead.

The central server's resources needed regular monitoring to ensure its availability and performance. Log files generated by the agents and the central server provided valuable information for troubleshooting and diagnosing problems. PurePath for z/OS Java is no longer supported as a standalone product; its functionality has been integrated into Dynatrace.

Users should migrate to Dynatrace or consider alternatives like AppDynamics or New Relic for modern APM solutions.
