Creating analysis definitions

Stabilized feature: CICSPlex® SM Real-Time Analysis (RTA) is stabilized. Consider moving to Policy system rules or to a dedicated monitoring product such as IBM OMEGAMON for z/OS. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.

An analysis definition (RTADEF object) identifies the associated evaluation definitions and action definitions. Use the RTA definitions (RTADEF) view to create analysis definitions.

About this task

The RTA definitions (RTADEF) views display information about evaluations to be performed on a periodic basis and the actions to be taken should a notifiable condition occur. Examples of how to use this view can be found in Performing real-time analysis with CICSPlex SM RTA.

Procedure

  1. From the main menu, click Administration views > RTA MAS resource monitoring (or RTA analysis point monitoring) > Definitions to display the RTA definitions (RTADEF) view.
  2. Click the Create button. To base the new definition on an existing one, click the Record check box before clicking the Create button.
    The RTA definition create view is displayed.
  3. When you have completed the fields, click the Yes button to create the specification. Otherwise, click No to abandon the process.

What to do next

  • Create the required subcomponent such as evaluation definitions (EVALDEF objects) and action definitions (ACTION objects) of the analysis definition. For detailed instructions, see Creating evaluation definitions and Creating action definitions.
  • Add analysis definitions to an analysis group

    An analysis group (RTAGROUP object) is used to associate one or more related analysis definitions (RTADEF objects), status probe definitions (STATDEF objects), or both, that are to be associated with an analysis specification or an analysis point specification.
