Relationships

To propagate the health status of the monitor resource to the health status of the application, you must define a HASMONITOR relationship between the CICS® region and the monitor resource.

The monitor resource is kept active only during the UP time of the CICS application with both of the following relationships:

A HASPASSIVEPARENT and a FORCEDOWN/WhenObservedDown relationship between the monitor resource and the CICS region
An additional HASPASSIVEPARENT relationship to the connected CICS region

The monitor resource depends on the CICSPlex® SM event listener with a HASPARENT and a FORCEDOWN/WhenObservedDown relationship. This ensures that the monitor resource can rely on all required functions.
