MainView delivers a unique set of capabilities to optimize mainframe systems management

Find and fix problems with a single view and control of your entire environment.

MainView allows you to see and control data collected from multiple sources on one console. Rapid guided navigation takes you quickly and directly to the source of a problem, which speeds problem resolution. With security top of mind, remote secure access to Hardware Management Console (HMC) minimizes risk, improves response and provides full visibility into commands issued for audit and training.

  • All resources and business-related metrics are visible and accessible regardless of source
  • Guided navigation for fast root cause identification
  • Mainframe-based customizable graphic interface
  • Remote secure console access
"MainView provides us the same look, feel and navigation across all subsystem components, e.g. IMS/CICS/Db2/MQ/z/OS, an integrated drill down capability allowing transactions to be followed from one subsystem to the next, and a great graphical user interface and dashboard metrics to please the senior management view of the world." – IT Manager, Large Enterprise Banking Company.  Source: TechValidate.

MainView is intuitive to use, configure, and manage. A modular structure built on a centralized architecture allows you to easily snap-in components and exponentially increase the benefits of MainView. You can manage your mainframe ecosystem holistically, ensuring the highest possible availability and performance.

  • Standardized configuration and navigation speeds knowledge transfer and improves staff efficiency
  • Central setup and deployment of smart alarms delivers consistency
  • Centralization enables holistic management of your entire mainframe ecosystem

"The ease of installation and the ease of use save us technical resource time. With the benefits we get from using the products, [we can] concentrate on other areas of the technical world knowing that BMC products have our back." – Shieu Chan, Manager Technical Support Group, Bell Aliant.  Source: TechValidate.

Automate problem resolution without requiring specialized skills.

MainView provides powerful, intelligent automation to proactively find and fix issues before they occur. No need to have your experienced personnel write time-consuming code because MainView automation is rules-based and codeless, making it easier to set up and manage.  MainView’s intelligent proactive automation lets you do more with less—efficiently and with accuracy.

  • Codeless, rules-based automation reduces manual efforts and increases efficiency and accuracy
  • Dynamic triggers invoke appropriate actions such as automation, text message or a phone call, lowering MTTR
  • Thresholds based on business cycle changes reduce guesswork
  • Smart alarms mean only real problems are raised

"With MainView, it is easy to pinpoint problems by using automation to send alerts or apply an action to a situation. Being able to hop from the Z/OS monitor to CICS monitor and Db2 monitor makes monitoring a lot easier for the staff." – IT Specialist, Large Enterprise Health Care Company.  Source: TechValidate.
