The iSeries has a solid reputation for being the
most stable, secure and efficient server in the market. One of the key
reasons for this is the tight integration of the OS/400 -now i5/OS- operating
system with the DB2 UDB for iSeries database.
Thanks to this seamless integration, the wide range of
iSeries agents in VISUAL Message Center
enable a simple, yet powerful and versatile monitoring of DB2.
VISUAL Message Center's
native iSeries agents capture relevant events and consolidate them in
the SmartConsole, which in turn
simplifies the setup of alerts and automated actions.

| Tango/04 offers the most complete range of iSeries
monitoring agents to help you monitor and control the availability,
performance and integrity of your IBM DB2 UDB databases. |
Historical reports of your database performance and security
can be easily generated using VISUAL Message Center's Reporting
System module.
Use VISUAL Message Center's iSeries
agents to monitor:
Database availability and performance
- iSeries Server Agent
Monitor message queues, jobs, devices, and systems history for all the
iSeries on your network to ensure the availability of subsystems, libraries
and objects. Monitor the activity, status and duration of jobs to detect
bottlenecks and database errors. The following monitors are available:
- Batch Monitor (BCH Agent)
- Device Monitor (DVM Agent)
- QHST System Log monitor (HST Agent)
- Job Activity Monitor (JAM Agent)
- Job Status Monitor (JBM Agent)
- Job Duration Monitor (JDM Agent)
- Job Queue Status Monitor (JQM Agent)
- Spool Files Size Agent (SPF Agent)
- Spool Files by Job Agent (SPJ Agent)
- Spool Files by Output Queue (SPQ Agent)
- User Inactivity Monitor (UIN Agent)
- Restricted State Monitor (RST Monitor)
- iSeries Interactive Agent
Capture error messages in interactive sessions and view them in the
SmartConsole. Detailed alerts
help you solve problems quickly without relying on confusing end-user
explanations.
- iSeries Performance Agent
Graphically monitor your iSeries system and database performance in
real time, and configure alarms and actions when important performance
conditions occur.
- iSeries ThinAgents
VISUAL Message Center's new iSeries ThinAgents
use the ThinkServer monitoring
engine to search for any value on your iSeries that can be retrieved
using an OS/400 command, including libraries, back-ups, damaged objects,
journal objects, disused objects, program integrity, user profiles,
and much more.

Database
security and auditing
- iSeries Security Agent
Advanced OS monitoring and auditing capabilities (user profiles, objects,
configuration, and more) help you protect your data with the ability
to respond automatically to security threats before damage is done.
Advanced filter criteria mask iSeries complexities and let you fine-tune
the Security Agent to pinpoint real security issues, rather than everyday
user mistakes.
- Tango/04 Data Monitor
Tango/04 Data Monitor for iSeries helps
you satisfy any regulatory or auditing requirements on data stored on
DB2 UDB for iSeries database tables. It detects in real time attempts
to illicitly or incorrectly access your data, in order to prevent fraud
and accidental errors. Designed according to the best practices for
data protection and auditing, Tango/04 Data Monitor for iSeries meets
the specifications of widely accepted standards, such as ISO-17799,
COBIT or ITIL, and helps you comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley
(SOX), 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA and European privacy laws.
- iSeries SQL Monitors
Errors and suspicious activity using SQL can be detected by capturing
SQL statements and sending them to a corporate dashboard, including
interactive queries performed using STRSQL, and queries from embedded
SQL statements on RPG and COBOL programs, ODBC/JDBC clients, Client/Server
applications, and other sources.
VISUAL Message Center
also supports monitoring of DB2 databases on Linux systems through the
automated execution of synthetic transactions. It captures and integrates
DB2-based operational data, and key performance indicators stored on Linux
servers, for the support of BSM strategies.
