Agent Technology

The Agent Technology infrastructure enables the use of agents for the z/OS environment. The agents report to agent managers, which monitor and report the status of your resources and applications. It supports existing prepackaged z/OS agents such as the z/OS system agent, CA‑IDMS agent, DB2 agent, and CICS agent, as well as other agents created to CA Common Services specifications.

Agent Technology supports a wide range of platforms and is deployable in traditional client/server, internet, and intranet environments. This versatility enables enterprise‑wide monitoring and management of z/OS elements and further enhances the ability of z/OS environments to participate in a true heterogeneous network.
