A performance management system is provided for monitoring performance of an application across a distributed computing environment, including within one or more mainframe computers. In the mainframe environment, a transaction manager is configured to receive a transaction request from an application executing remotely from the mainframe computer. An event agent is invoked via a user exit by the transaction manager and operates to detect events caused by the handling of the transaction by the transaction manager. Upon detecting such events, the event agent generates event messages for select events associated with the transaction, where the event message includes identifying information for the transaction. A translator agent is configured to receive the event messages from the event agent and transmit the event data record to a server located remotely from the mainframe computer, where the event data record includes the identifying information for the transaction.

System and methods for tracing individual transactions across a mainframe computing environment

Systems and methods of authentication and data sharing across applications and platforms based on a single authentication are described. The systems and methods allow a user, based on a single log on to an application, to be automatically logged on to other applications and to fetch and store preference, state, and setting data across enterprise computing systems that include multiple computing platforms and applications. A data registry stores authentication and non-authentication data. An interface for automatically executing authentication transactions for the applications and facilitating the share of non-authentication data is also provided. The non-authentication data is user configurable to provide flexible application support across the enterprise, such as through the preservation of state information, preferences, settings, and application data across multiple computers.

Cross-platform single sign-on data sharing

A computer-implemented method and system for measuring and reporting on the effectiveness of software program testing combines information from existing debugging and analysis tools to provide various displays of the logical paths of a program under test that have been executed, as well as related data. Logical path execution is determined based on the number of times a decision block has been executed and the number of times statements coming out of the decision block have been executed.

A system and method is described for expediting the transfer of data in a network system wherein a user is coupled by a slow-speed data transfer facility to a first user environment which is the primary interface system for the user. The user begins the process by requesting the download of a data packet. The user interface sends a request for source information to the first user environment along its slow-speed data transfer facility. The response to the request consists of the source information of the data packet. The source information is received by the user interface, and is then sent to the second user environment having a fast-speed data transfer facility. The second user environment locates the data packet using the source information, and downloads the data packet to the user interface through the fast-speed data transfer facility. In a further aspect of the invention, the first user environment operates in accordance with CICS protocols, and uses a HLLAPI interface in conjunction with a user interface, and the second user environment is a MVS platform, coupled to the user interface with a TCP/IP connection. The user requests the download of a data packet a block of source code, and the CICS region returns the program name, the date and time it was compiled, and the MVS dataset name containing the source program information. Since CICS runs on a layer on top of MVS, this MVS dataset is available to both operating systems. The source information is then sent to the workstation, restructured and then sent by the workstation through a TCP/IP connection to MVS. MVS receives the source information, locates the dataset, and begins to download the source code.
