Managing RTA

RTA is set up and managed using the objects described in Table 5.

Table 5. Real-time analysis objects
Object name Description Function
APACTV Analysis definitions associated with an analysis point specification This object shown information about analysis definitions associated with an analysis point specification.
ACTNDEF Action definitions An action definition designates the type of external notification that is to occur when the condition or conditions identified in an analysis definition are true.
APCMAS Analysis point specification and CMAS association This object shows the relationship between analysis point specifications and CMASs. During real-time analysis initialization, the association between analysis point specifications and CMASs is used to determine which specification should be installed within the CMAS in which real-time analysis is activated.
APSPEC Analysis point specifications This object shows information about analysis point specifications. An analysis point specification identifies one or more CMASs that are to be responsible for analyzing CICS® systems within the CICSplex identified as the context.
EVALDEF Evaluation definition This object shows information about evaluation definitions. An evaluation definition identifies the resources in one or more CICS systems that are to be sampled and evaluated. When the result of the evaluation is true, an associated analysis definition is used to determine if a notifiable condition has occurred.
EVENT Changes in the status of a CICSplex or one of its CICS systems This object shows information about outstanding changes in the status of a CICSplex or one of its CICS systems.
EVENTDTL Evaluation definitions associated with analysis definitions This object shows information about evaluation definitions associated with an analysis definition that has caused an event to be generated.
RTAACTV Analysis and status definitions This object shows information about analysis and status definitions installed in CICS systems known to the CICSplex identified as the current context.
RTADEF Analysis definitions An analysis definition identifies the evaluations to be performed on a periodic basis and the actions to be taken should a notifiable condition occur.
RTAGROUP Analysis groups An analysis group is used to associate one or more related analysis definitions, status definitions, or both.
RTAINAPS Analysis groups in analysis point specifications This object displays the names of analysis groups associated with analysis point specifications.
RTAINGRP Analysis and status definitions in analysis groups This object displays the names of analysis groups and the analysis and status definitions associated with them.
RTAINSPC Analysis groups in analysis specifications This object shows the names of analysis specifications and the analysis groups associated with them.
RTASCOPE Analysis specifications assigned a scope This object shows informationabout the CICS systems or CICS system groups that are associated with an analysis specification.
RTASPEC Analysis specifications An analysis specification identifies the default control attributes that are used for system availability monitoring and provides an anchor for all analysis definitions and status definitions associated with a CICS system.
STATDEF Status definitions A status definition identifies a user-program that is to be called by CICSPlex® SM at specific intervals.

The RTA object model is shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20. The real-time analysis object model
The diagram shows the relationship between the views used for administration of real-time analysis. The CICSSYS view defines and maintains CICS system definitions which include information about real-time analysis. CICSGRP defines and maintains CICS system groups and displays information about them. The RTASCOPE view defines and maintains CICS systems or system groups associated with an analysis specification. The RTASPEC view defines and maintains control attributes for SAM. The RTAINSPC view displays the names of analysis specifications and the groups associated with them and allows the information to be updated. The RTAGROUP view defines and maintains analysis groups. The RTAINGRP view displays the names of analysis groups and their associated analysis and status definitions and allows the information to be updated. The PERIODEF view allows time period definitions to be created or modified and displays existing definitions. The ACTNDEF view allows action definitions to be created or modified and displays information about existing definitions The STATDEF view allows status definitions to be created or modified and displays information about existing definitions. The RTADEF view allows analysis definitions to be created or modified and displays information about existing definitions. The EVALDEF view allows evaluation definitions to be created or modified and displays information about existing definitions. All these views are described in detail in the preceding table.
