Mainframe Datacom DB Monitoring

gautier_begin — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 07:20:36 GMT

Hello,

I can see that Dynatrace can monitor transactions with zOS DB2: Dynatrace for z/OS | Dynatrace Docs

I can see that Datacom NZ is partner of Dynatrace: Recognising our Top Performing APAC Partners (dynatrace.com)

So, can I monitor Datacom DB in zOS with Dynatrace, as it's done with DB2 ?

Regards

Not supported.
We have had one or two queries over the life of the Dynatrace for z/OS product.
If you want support pursued, I'd suggest an RFE (Request for Enhancement)

Could it be that we can trap Datacom transactions like DB2 ones, even if not supported ?

I am not familiar w/ Datacom CICS and IMS APIs.
Needs support to decode the Datacom call for the PurePath node trace information.
If Datacom has an exit point somewhere, you might be able to do something with the SDK.
