CAE Agent

The CAE Agent provides TCP/IP access to data from all Query Monitor Subsystems.

The CAE Agent is a non-Java™ address space that runs under z/OS® and uses no ZFS/HFS facilities. You can run the CAE Agent as a started task or as a batch job under the control of JES. One CAE Agent must be installed on each z/OS image that hosts one or more Query Monitor Subsystems.

The CAE Agent collects alerts from one or more Query Monitor Subsystems and notifies the Alerts Browser of each alert. If the execution of an SQL statement generates multiple alerts, then the Alerts Browser reports one entry for those alerts (this grouping of alerts can be turned off using MITs, for more information see Editing MITs). Each alert notification shows a repetition count that equals the number of times the alert occurred for the SQL statement.
