PROGNOSIS Business Integration Server Management
PROGNOSIS Business Integration Server Management helps you optimize the availability and performance of IBM WebSphere MQ queue processing environments through effective problem detection, correction and prevention.
|
Failure or simply poor performance of any WebSphere MQ component can severely affect application workflow. PROGNOSIS provides comprehensive visibility and manageability of WebSphere MQ subsystems, so you can instantly identify any component in an abnormal state - and take action before endusers are adversely impacted.
PROGNOSIS automatically discovers WebSphere MQ objects and continually monitors their performance, status and configuration. Objects monitored include queues, queue managers, processes, channels and messages.

PROGNOSIS helps you better understand issues affecting WebSphere MQ performance. It automatically monitors queue processing activity across all servers, alerting you of any abnormal events. For example, PROGNOSIS provides advance warning of any queue with excessive depth or any other condition
that may affect its ability to accept new messages.
To ensure the availability of applications that rely on WebSphere MQ, PROGNOSIS monitors the status of all key resources, such as transmission queues and channels. When exception conditions occur, PROGNOSIS immediately generates warning messages. Alternatively, PROGNOSIS can take automated corrective action, without the need for operator intervention.
Because it monitors key queue, channel and message indicators, the root-cause of problems can be detected and solved quickly, typically before service-levels, applications or users are impacted.
PROGNOSIS Business Integration Server Management seamlessly combines with other PROGNOSIS products to provide a comprehensive and fully integrated crossplatform solution for application and systems management - including management of WebSphere MQ in HP NonStop environments.

Typical issues solved with PROGNOSIS Business Integration Server Management:
WebSphere MQ configuration
Provides central access to configuration information from all WebSphere MQ servers. This helps eliminate performance and availability issues associated with incorrect configuration.
WebSphere MQ performance
Delivers instant access to performance and status information for all WebSphere MQ resources and objects. These include queues, queue managers, channels, queue processes and messages.
Queue depth management
Provides real-time and historical queue depth information. Detects and warns of any queue operating outside acceptable limits.
Channel management
Warns of any channels in an inactive state. When used with PROGNOSIS Automated Analyst, it
automatically restarts inactive channels with or without operator acknowledgement.
Dead letter queue monitoring
Warns of any queue manager without a dead letter queue. Ensures dead letter queues are capable of handling the largest messages in the system. Also notifies when dead letter queues contain messages.
Message monitoring
Monitors ‘put’ timestamps and message lengths. Identifies non-persistent messages and their
source application. Monitors message details including name, identifier, ID, type, expiry time, encoding, format, persistence, backout count, user ID, message time and length. All prepackaged elements are easily modified or extended. You can also add new elements to meet your specific management requirements.
