CICSPlex SM administration views

With the administration views you can create, maintain, and manage your CICSPlex® SM environment.

Batched repository update requests - BATCHREP
The Batched repository update requests (BATCHREP) views display information about batched repository update jobs within the current context. The batched repository update facility allows you to create, update, and remove definition records from the data repository of the local CMAS.
CMAS configuration administration views
The CMAS configuration administration views allow CMASs to be configured and maintained.
Monitor administration views
The monitor administration views allow your monitoring requirements to be defined and maintained. The monitoring functions support the collection of performance-related data, at user-defined intervals, for named resource instances within a CICSplex.
Topology administration views
The topology administration views allow CICS system definitions, CICS system group definitions, and time period definitions to be created and maintained.
Workload manager administration views
The workload manager administration views allow your workload management requirements to be defined to CICSPlex SM. The workload management functions of CICSPlex SM support dynamic routing.
RTA system availability monitoring
The RTA system availability monitoring views allow the real-time analysis system availability monitoring resources to be created and maintained. RTA SAM function monitors CICS systems during their planned hours of availability. If any of a set of predefined conditions occurs while a CICS system is being monitored, CICSPlex SM sends out external notifications at the start of the condition and also when it is resolved.
CICS system links and related resources
RTA MAS resource monitoring
The RTA MAS resource monitoring (MRM) views allow the real-time analysis MAS resource monitoring definitions to be created and maintained. Using MRM function, you can monitor the status of any specific or generic CICS resource, and be informed when its status deviates from a specified norm. Using MRM, you can select both the resource status you are interested in and the type of external notification it generates.
RTA analysis point monitoring
The RTA analysis point monitoring (APM) views allow the RTA analysis point monitoring definitions to be created and maintained. APM function is the same as its MRM function, except that when resources are monitored in multiple CICS systems (a CICS system group or an entire CICSplex), the occurrence of the same problem in any number of those CICS systems can result in one external notification rather than several. APM is especially useful in environments that use cloned AORs, where regions are identical and one notification is sufficient to alert you to a general problem. APM does not support the use of status probes for monitoring non-CICS resources. In all other respects, however, APM offers the same opportunities as MRM for early detection of potential problems, and for an automated response in such situations.
Basic CICS resource administration views
The basic CICS resource administration views show information about basic CICS resource administration within the current context and scope.
CICS resource definitions
The CICS resource definitions views allow CICS resource definitions to be defined and maintained.
Fully functional Business Application Services (BAS) administration views
The fully functional Business Application Services (BAS) administration views show information about CICS resource administration within the current context and scope. The fully functional form of the BAS administration views allow resource assignments to be created and maintained. Resource assignments are used to qualify the contents of resource groups and resource descriptions, and to control the assignment of resources to CICS systems.
