Precisely Ironstream extends ServiceNow's abilities to include mission-critical IBM Z (mainframe) environments. Using Ironstream for ServiceNow Discovery for IBM Z, you can quickly configure and launch secure discovery of IBM Z resources and their relationships. Precisely Ironstream also helps you to auto-populate and maintain the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB). Easily map dependencies and assigns relationships automatically between ServiceNow and IBM Z.
The Ironstream for ServiceNow Discovery for IBM Z solution is a paid application. It requires the purchase of the ServiceNow Discovery for IBM Z client and agent to enable the app to perform mainframe discovery.
- Seamless Integration into ServiceNow Discovery. A complete end-to-end solution
which includes the IBM mainframe/zOS environments. - Enable powerful service impact analysis. The combination of Ironstream and ServiceNow enables you to autopopulate and maintain the CMDB with all major mainframe/zOS CIs and CI relationships.
- Discovery maps hierarchical dependencies and assigns the appropriate relationship type
between Configuration Items (CIs) that it finds. - Supports dynamic scheduling of discovery tasks to keep objects accurate and up to date.
Changes in this version:
- Write discovered CICS, DB2, IMS and MQ information from z/OS systems to out-of-the-box CMDB locations in addition to the CPC, LPAR and Sysplex detail from the previous version. All previously discovered data continues to be written to the set of legacy custom tables in addition to this.
Please refer to the Ironstream documentation for full details of the preparation and choices you need to make before implementing this software.
