This user scenario shows how you can monitor your regions
when they go short on storage and how you can rectify the problem.
Before you begin
For this scenario the assumption is that you are running Tivoli Enterprise Portal from your workstation.
About this task
In this case, a transaction, that is well known for using up storage, is running in one of
your CICS® regions. Using
Tivoli Enterprise Portal, you can first
identify the CICS region with a
problem and then you can locate the task that is using the storage and finally you can
use the CEKL transaction to purge, force purge or kill the transaction from the
system.There are three stages involved in this procedure:
- Modify the thresholds
- Create a link from one workspace to another
- Create and use an action.
Before you start save a workspace where you can customize the
view.
Procedure
-
Open Tivoli Enterprise Portal, and expand the navigator
window so that you can view the Storage Analysis
workspace.
- Save a new workspace File > Save Workspace As and
in the dialog panel, enter a name and description for your new workspace.
Click OK.
Also check the Assign as default for
this Navigator item box so that you do not have to continually
check that you are using the correct workspace at each step.
What to do next
This example uses the threshold definitions that are provided
and modifies them; it creates a link between the Storage Analysis
workspace and the Transaction Analysis workspace. Finally it creates
an action that can be used to remove transactions that might be causing
a problem.Now continue with Modifying a threshold for short-on-storage.
