IBM® CICS® Interdependency Analyzer for z/OS V2.2 identifies resource interdependencies in your CICS systems.

Automates detection of your CICS runtime relationships, records data in a DB2® database and helps you analyze the collected information for use in your daily processes.

Resources identified by this runtime tool include those associated with transactions, programs, Basic Mapping Support maps, files, temporary storage queues, transient data (TD) queues, 3270 Bridge facility, Web Services, CorbaServer and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).
Reports on DB2, IMS™ and WebSphere® MQ resources that are used by CICS are also generated.
New! A CICS IA plug-in is now available for the CICS Explorer to offer the same intuitive way to query CICS relationship data, manage queries and navigate through complex application relationships, now from a standard interface.
New! The CICS IA plug-in integrates with other CICS Explorer perspectives, for example, to click on a transaction in a CICS PA bar chart and drill right-down to see it's dependencies, relationships, and affinities, and more.
Sample queries assist you by highlighting those applications currently running in previous levels of CICS TS that are most sensitive to CICS API and SPI command changes.
V2.2 includes support for modernizing your key CICS applications for deployment in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) by identifying applications that are suitable for exposure as Web services and it provides initial integration with WebSphere Studio Asset Analyzer.
Support for CICS resources used by Software AG Natural gives you new insight into the behaviour of your Natural applications.
