Components that Support Application Monitoring

You can monitor distributed application scenarios that make use of the following components:

  z/OS UNIX Windows z/VSE
EntireX Broker (1) x x x x
Listener for XML/SOAP x x x  
EntireX Adapter (2)   x x  
Java RPC Client x x x  
.NET RPC Client     x  
Natural RPC Client x (3) x x x
COBOL RPC Client x     x
C RPC Client   x x  
RPC Server for XML/SOAP x x x  
RPC Server for Java x x x  
Natural RPC Server x (3) x x x
RPC Server for CICS x     x
RPC Server for Batch x     x
RPC Server for .NET     x  
RPC Server for C   x x  

Notes:

  1. Application monitoring is only supported for the transport methods TCP/IP and SSL.
  2. The following connection types of the EntireX Adapter support application monitoring:

    • EntireX RPC Connection

    • EntireX Direct RPC Connection

    • EntireX RPC Listener Connection

    • EntireX Direct RPC Listener Connection

    • IMS Connect Connection

    • CICS ECI Connection

  3. For z/OS, make sure the EXX load library is part of your steplib chain. We recommend using stub NATETB23 for all of your Natural RPC environments and a Natural configuration allowing a dynamic load of the stub. This can be achieved by using the following Natural parameters: 
    RCA=(BROKER) RCALIAS=(BROKER,NATETB23)

    If your broker stub is statically included, you will need to relink your Natural nucleus.
