CICS problems, whether they’re related to performance or transaction failures, can in some cases be easily remediated in the short term. But getting to the root cause of the problem and creating a permanent fix can be quite a bit more difficult. In this session, we’ll discuss a methodology for finding and resolving CICS problems, whether they’re related to performance or outages, and show some CICS products that can each help in isolation, but when combined can provide a solution to even the most difficult issues.

In this session, you will:
- Understand the common types of CICS problems that can occur, including performance issues and transaction failures.
- Gain insights into a systematic methodology for effectively finding and resolving CICS problems.
- Gain an understanding of the importance of proactive monitoring and preventive measures.

- Learn how to analyze CICS performance metrics and logs to identify problem areas and potential bottlenecks.
- Explore real-world case studies or examples that highlight resolving complex CICS problems

Problem Analysis and Performance Tuning for CICS

Rocket+Kyndryl: Unlock the Power of the Mainframe for Your Hybrid Cloud Strategy

If your business relies on a MultiValue-based system of record, you may be working on decoupling one piece of what your MV app does to be handled by an API-first (or cloud-first) application like ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc. Your next step is to integrate your MV app with the recently introduced solution.
While your goal is to quickly implement this solution to meet SLAs and improve customer experiences, you may be encountering a lack of familiarity with either the ins and outs of MV, Open API Standard Compliance, RESTful API development, orchestration/automation, or some combination of these factors.
Join two of Rocket® Software’s Principal Sales Engineers, Charles Jones and Larry Schoenleber, and MV Evangelist Mike Rajkowski, as they share their experiences helping MV customers get these projects across the finish line. In this session, they will review tried and tested solutions and implementation strategies for creating Open API standard-compliant RESTful APIs and accelerating the orchestration and automation of the APIs. In addition, they’ll cover different use cases, including:
• Application to application workflow automation
• Database to database workflow automation
• MV RESTful modernization scenarios
• A sample workflow process automation model that includes multiple data sources
• API management and monitoring
