Installing an analysis specification

You can install an analysis specification, and create an association between an analysis definition and an analysis specification.

  • From the main menu, click Administration views.
  • From the Administration views menu, click either RTA MAS resource monitoring or RTA analysis point monitoring.
  • Click Definitions to display the RTA definitions tabular view (RTADEF object).
  • Select an analysis definition by clicking the Record check box.
  • Click the Install analysis specification... button to display the Install analysis specification view.
  • Provide the following information:
    Scope value
    (Optional.) Enter the specific or generic name of a CICS® system or CICS system group that is to be evaluated by the analysis point specification when processing analysis definitions. If you specify a generic value, a list of valid CICS systems and CICS system groups is displayed. If you leave this field blank, all CICS systems in the CICSplex are evaluated.
    Analysis point specification name
    Enter the specific or generic name of an analysis point specification to which this definition is to be added. If you specify a generic value, a list of valid analysis point specifications is displayed.
    Period definition name
    (Optional) Enter the specific or generic name of an existing period definition that identifies the range of hours during which the analysis definition is to be active. If you specify a generic value, a list of valid period definitions is displayed.
  • Click Yes to install the definition in the designated CICS systems. Otherwise, click No to abandon the process.

If an analysis definition is associated with an evaluation definition that refers to a resource table that is not supported in the target CICS system, CICSPlex® SM issues a message indicating that the definitions are not installed because the resource is not supported.
