Performing real-time analysis with CICSPlex SM RTA
Stabilized feature: CICSPlex® SM Real-Time Analysis (RTA) is stabilized. Consider moving to Policy system rules or to a dedicated monitoring product such as IBM OMEGAMON for z/OS. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.
You can use the real-time analysis (RTA) component of CICSPlex SM to analyze the status of one or more CICS® regions and the resource information gathered about those systems. Based on its analysis, you can have CICSPlex SM generate external notifications when a condition occurs that you want to know about. In addition, you can have CICSPlex SM modify the attributes of a resource when it is not in the intended state.
The notification you receive can be in the form of:
- A record in the CICSPlex SM EVENT view
- An external z/OS® WTO message
- An SNA generic alert transmitted to a Tivoli NetView for z/OS system
Note: You can also use the RTA functions to produce data that helps in the selection of a target
region during workload management, as demonstrated in this example.
However, CICSPlex SM Workload Manager (WLM) health is
assessed independently and does not require RTA to be active. CICSPlex SM WLM health is not influenced by SAM settings either.
