APMConnect

High-performing enterprise applications deliver end-user satisfaction and keep operational costs contained. So in challenging economic times, the tools that enable you to find complex, deep and persistent performance hotspots can deliver both a business edge, and valuable cost savings. With APMConnect for CA Gen and COBOL, you can now quickly find those performance hotspots in your CA Gen and COBOL applications – and unlock valuable operational cost savings.

CA APM (Wily) already provides world-class environmental and application monitoring for the distributed platforms, and with APMConnect for CA Gen and COBOL, this single window of visibility extends further to include your CA Gen and IBM Mainframe Cobol applications. The power of integrated application monitoring over all of your application platforms, delivered at a single point, enables you to quickly identify and remediate problems.

Gartner notes that when applications fail in Production environments, over 75% of remediation time is spent identifying where the problem is. Since APMConnect for CA Gen and COBOL  is always on, you can immediately identify and isolate the problems within your CA Gen and COBOL applications. By reducing the time to identify the cause of a problem, your applications are back online quicker, and application outages are reduced – saving time, money and reputational damage.

Whilst APMConnect for COBOL monitors every transaction in your application by default, the configuration capability allows specific transactions to be excluded, or the entire monitoring function to be dynamically turned on and off. This flexibility enables you to selectively monitor only what matters within each production environment.

APMConnect for CA Gen and COBOL's sophisticated threshold capabilities mean that long-running (rogue) transactions are immediately identified and flagged. These transaction execution times can be configured in a number of ways including specific execution durations, and deviations from average execution times.

Incorporate APMConnect for CA Gen and COBOL into your SDLC to evaluate, identify, and resolve application performance issues as part of your standard development lifecycle – preventing performance bottlenecks ever reaching production. The earlier problems are detected and prevented, the cheaper they are to resolve!

CA APM (Wily) and CA Gen are best-in-class for Application Performance Monitoring, and Enterprise-scale Application development respectively. Each is widely used across the world by organisations with the most demanding Enterprise-scale applications. APMConnect for CA Gen integrates these two technologies enabling each to exploit the best of the other – proven solutions to complex problems.
