• Difficult for the user to intuitively know what command they
initiate at any point of the system
• Provide Line command assist
• Provide ability to use mouse clicks to sort data by column as
necessary
• Ability to more easily enter help in a contextual sense of a
specific column variable

• Accelerate Software Deployment through faster time to production for new inexperienced users
PAIN
SOLUTIONInsert screenshot here

Training Videos
Provide short training videos targeted at an inexperienced user
BENEFITS
Feature
• Users onboard and offboard at different times.
• We have hundreds of customers in remote locations. Instructor
led user training is logistically difficult.”
• “I cannot afford to train all of my users.”
• Provide small videos for existing features
• Provide small videos for new features showing use case and
flow
• Posted videos to reside on support online, documentation
wiki and Youtube.
• Simplify Software Usage through computer based training
• Simplify Software Usage through on demand need based features
PAIN

Documentation
Move all user manuals and product resident documentation to a wiki
BENEFITS
Feature
• Finding information in your product documentation is difficult
• Some documentation is only available in the product itself after install
• Sharing this information could be improved
• All user manuals will be moved to the ca documentation wiki
• All product resident documentation (HOWTO, TOPICS, PARMLIB
documentation) will be moved to the wiki
• All product documentation will be searchable via Google
• All documentation will be easily shareable with users using deep, topic specific
URLs
• Continuous Availability by making information about using the product more accessible
• Simplify Software Usage by better educating users on the effective use of the product
• Accelerate Software Deployment by reducing the user educational barrier to adoption and decreasing time to value
PAIN

CICS Exec Interface Trace
Ability to trace CICS transactions and analyze the result
BENEFITS
Feature
• Users often need detailed information about a CICS transaction
to analyze application performance problems
• Collecting a high level of detail for all transactions 24x7 can be
prohibitive from a system overhead standpoint
• Finding the transactions for analysis can be difficult
• Users can request that granular information be collected for
transactions that may run in the future
• Transactions can be selected by transaction name or group,
region name or group, userid, or terminal
• CA SYSVIEW® will find all matching transactions, and
downstream correlated transactions, across all CICS regions
and all systems in the enterprise
• The user can easily accessed the results in a consolidated list
• Continuous Availability by assisting users in discovering and understanding application or business service flow
• Continuous Availability by assisting users in analyzing possible performance pain points in the context of an application
• Landing Lightly by allowing minimal details to be collected for all transactions 24x7, with the confidence that a user can
dynamically get additional detail only when necessary
PAIN
PLANNED SOLUTIONInsert screenshot here

Log Stream Enhancements
Added filter capability to all log stream browsing commands
BENEFITS
Feature
• “I can’t find the transactions that I am interested in, particularly
when I am in firefighting mode.”
• “My users do not understand how to search the CA SYSVIEW®
logs and often times end up issuing inefficient search queries.
These queries rarely provide the user the data they were seeking
and they kill our systems because they are so expensive.”
• Add FILTER panel to all logstream browse commands
• Logstream read performance enhancements
• Add default response SLA to all logstream browse
commands
• Duplex “interesting” transactions to a dedicated logstream
• Continuous Availability by enabling users to more easily find and analyze the most relevant historical data
• Simplified Software Usage by providing users more guided assistance and requiring less typing of commands with long syntax
• Landing Lightly by preventing low-value, ad-hoc queries from stealing finite system CPU resources
