Hi Bill,
I didn't include TMONMVS as the applications performance analysis and
profile capability of TMON, OMEGAMON, MAINVIEW, and SYSVIEW just doesn't
stack up. These tools are oriented towards systems programmers where
APA, TRITUNE/INTUNE, STROBE, and FREEZEFRAME are designed especially for
use by applications programmers. The include features such as mapping
execution time back to specific COBOL source statements, integrated
EXPLAIN of DB2 SQL calls, enhanced support for subsystem utilization by
the application program (DB2, MQ, CICS, IMS, etc.). The monitor tools
often require an expert both in MVS internals and the tools to make
sense out of what is displayed and do application tuning. TMONMVS
doesn't help much for your average CICS transaction invoking DB2.

TMON/MVS from ASG (Allen Systems Group) has similar functions for
determining where in a large program or cluster of programs the CPU time
is being spent. There may be other functions of Strobe to compare, but
I am not aware of any, having never used Strobe.
