IBM Fault Analyzer for zOS vs Mainframe Application Tuner comparison

IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS helps developers analyze and fix system and application failures for CICS, WebSphere MQ, IMS and DB2 environments. When an application ends abnormally, Fault Analyzer is automatically engaged, gathering real-time information about the event and its environment at the time of failure. This helps the development team to identify the cause, analyze what went wrong and resolve the problem in a more timely and efficient manner to avoid costly interruptions that could jeopardize application schedules and outcomes.

CA Mainframe Application Tuner (CA MAT) is designed to identify the root causes of application performance inefficiencies in your mainframe application modules.

CA MAT can help improve your application response times and identify areas where you can lower CPU consumption.

CA MAT can help your performance management teams proactively identify problems by automatically finding and prioritizing concealed tuning opportunities, initiating measurements and analyzing the results.

CA MAT features an intuitive Eclipse-based GUI that you can customize according to your needs, enabling you to group related modules for quicker referencing. It delivers application-specific delay information to help you fix problems—as well as anticipate and avoid bottlenecks before they occur. This mainframe testing solution helps organizations get proactive with mainframe performance tuning as well as:

• Pinpoint code inefficiencies.
• Improve customer service.
• Meet SLAs.
