Hi
We have been using SAS/ITRM for many years on the mainframe and other
platforms (porting the non-mainframe data to OMVS) with great success. A
couple of years ago we also negotiated a sub-capacity based license with
SAS which was very reasonable.
Management has however decided to save more costs and we are in the
process of migrating ITRM to the Intel platform, halving our costs.
SAS/ITRM is a bundled product which is made up of several SAS modules
such as SAS/GRAPH, SAS/BASE, SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, etc.
It uses MXG to read the raw SMF/RMF data after which the data is
collected, summarized and stored in PDB's. This process is fully
automated.
The cost vs functionality is extremely low as ITRM can basically read
any type of performance data from any source i.e ZOS, OpenVMS, SQL, etc.
SAS/ITRM comes with a set of pre-written reports but one can easily
customize your own reports.
Kind Regards,
Sarel Swanepoel
