Some additional information: To manage an IT Operation env on z (ITOM usecase), various z/OS information are used. Example includes DB2, CICS, CICS Transactions, z/OS parmlib, IP Address, batch job etc - their existence, configuration relationship between the data.
Currently, there are fragmented products that collect these information in the market, and multiple products are often used to collect the information needed for ITOM task. ServiceNow is one option that collect these ITOM data, and it provides a platform for tools/apps to apply the data for different ITOM usecases. IBM z Log and Data Analytics (zLDA) is a product from IBM z Software to collect z/OS data. This idea is to extend zLDA's capability to collect and load the ITOM data into ServiceNow.
