A recommended approach

When you decide to implement RTA functions in your enterprise, you should begin by defining the appropriate objects.

You should:
  • Use the RTA definitions view to create an analysis definition (RTADEF object).
  • Use the Evaluation definitions and Action definitions views to create the required subcomponents of an analysis definition (EVALDEF and ACTION objects).
  • Use the RTA groups view to create an analysis group (RTAGROUP object).
  • Use the RTA specifications view to create an analysis specification (RTASPEC object).
Then, to create associations between these objects:
  • Use the RTA definitions view to add the analysis definition to the analysis group (RTAINGRP object).
  • Use the RTA groups view to add the analysis group to the analysis specification (RTAINAPS object).
  • Use the RTA specifications to CICS® system links view (LNKSRSCS object) or the RTA specifications to CICS system groups links view (LNKSRSCG object) to associate the analysis specification with a CICS system or CICS system group. For more information about the LNKSxSCG parameters, see Special attribute and resource table considerations: LNKSxSCG Records (LNKSMSCG, LNKSRSCG, LNKSWSCG).

You can use the Map action button to display a visual map of the real-time analysis definitions in your data repository. If you want to see a list of the objects and associations you have already defined, use the RTA definitions in RTA groups view (RTAINGRP object), the RTA groups in RTA specifications view (RTAINSPC object), the RTA specifications to CICS system links view (LNKSRSCS object), and the RTA specifications to CICS system groups links view (LNKSRSCG object).
