Planning for RTA

When you are planning to implement RTA, you might consider the following points:

• You will probably want to use SAM, because not only is it very easy to implement (see Implementing system availability monitoring (SAM)) but you will need to be aware when any of your CICS® systems are not active when they should be. You need to:
  • Decide whether you want to customize any of the default conditions
  • Identify the primary CMAS for each CICS system
• To use MRM and APM, you need to identify:
  • The resources you are interested in
  • The point at which their status becomes of interest to you
  • How you want to be notified of an interesting status
  • The interval at which you require resource evaluations
  • The interval at which you require data analysis
  • The primary CMAS
    Note: For APM only, you may also specify one or more secondary CMASs.
