Types of managed objects

There are various types of objects in the CICSPlex® SM environment. Some objects, such as CICS® systems, programs, and transactions are real-world resources that CICSPlex SM manages. Definition objects, such as monitor specifications and workload definitions, are resources created solely for use within CICSPlex SM.

An event is an example of a run-time object that is generated as a result of CICSPlex SM processing.

The CICSPlex SM managed objects can be grouped into the following categories:
  • Managed CICS resources
    • CICS resources
    • Monitored CICS resources
  • CICS resource definitions
  • CICSPlex SM definitions
  • CICSPlex SM manager resources
  • CICSPlex SM notifications
  • CICSPlex SM meta-data.
