1.6 Benefits
The CICS Analyzer contributes to the overall benefits that CA
MICS provides. The CICS Analyzer contributes to these
benefits by:
o Improving Day-to-day I/S Management
It allows managers to track usage, identify system
bottlenecks, and plan corrective actions to ensure smooth
operations. It provides reliable information for setting
service-level objectives.
o Reducing Risk to the Enterprise
It allows I/S to define exceptional conditions and to
assess their impact.
o Controlling and/or Helping Reduce Costs
It allows you to equitably charge users for the amount of
resources they use.
o Improving Return on the I/S Investment
It allows managers to gauge the quality of service being
provided.
o Increasing Productivity
It allows less-experienced users to interpret report
results and use database information. It reduces the
task of coordinating information from multiple sources so
you can report or analyze information at the enterprise
rather than at the system level.
o Improving Planning
It allows managers to anticipate problems before they
affect the system, identifies areas for future CICS user
expansion, and assists in projecting growth trends.
