Compuware Abend-AID Fault Manager and HP OpenView

When distributed meets mainframe: A detailed view for thorough fault management

When you need to resolve an application problem that includes distributed and mainframe architectures, the combination of Compuware Abend-AID Fault Manager and HP OpenView Operations opens a new window into your distributed and mainframe environments.

Abend-AID Fault Manager helps extend the reach of HP OpenView Operations into IBM OS/390 and z/OS environments. Now you can proactively monitor, measure and control faults in your mainframe applications, and improve the fault resolution process, from data you view on the HP OpenView Operations console.

Until now, there simply wasn’t any easy way for users of HP OpenView Operations to view fault and performance data from mainframe applications interacting with distributed applications. Most likely, you’d have to leave HP OpenView Operations and open a separate diagnostic application, or ask for data from a separate IT group managing the mainframe environment.

Now, when a problem arises in your mainframe environment, Abend-AID Fault Manager can send data directly to HP OpenView Operations. This enables you to:

Investigate: The state of the application and the environment are captured at the time of fault for immediate processing

Analyze: Trends can be identified at many levels: enterprise, system, application, machine, database and program

Take immediate action: Instead of guessing where a distributed application’s problem may be, you know immediately if a problem in the mainframe environment may be the cause, and can then notify appropriate personnel.

Together, Abend-AID Fault Manager and HP OpenView Operations provide IT organizations with enterprise-wide fault management data from one source.
