Composite Application Manager for SOA, Version 7.1.1
IBM® Customer Information Control System Transaction Server (CICS® TS) running on the z/OS® operating system acts as both an SOA server and client. This version of CICS TS features the following capabilities, which make it more feasible to implement CICS TS services using SOA in your production environment:
The IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA CICS TS data collector monitors service flows to and from a CICS TS region, and provides the same services management and availability information that IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA currently provides for other application server runtime environments. Services data is presented in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal using the usual workspaces and views associated with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA.
Running within the CICS TS region, IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA acts as an SOA request monitor, intercepting incoming and outgoing SOA requests, rejecting incoming and outgoing messages according to user-configured filtering criteria, storing message information, metrics and rejection information into log files for later processing, and controlling the amount of monitoring and message rejection that is performed. These functions are accomplished with minimal effect on the function being monitored as well as the overall performance of the CICS region.
Because message correlation is not supported in this data collector, services data collected in the CICS TS environment is not supported by the IBM Web Services Navigator tool.
