This example is a development of the previous example (Monitoring resources temporarily) in which you saw how to monitor the number of DB2® thread aborts
in a CICS® system group on a temporary basis. In this example, you will again use the
WUI to create the real-time analysis definitions required to make this monitoring regular
and permanent.
Assume that you want the analysis definition RTDPAY02 to be in effect every day in CICS system group CSGAORS1, but only during prime shift (09:00 through 17:30). You have decided this because, outside of prime shift, you have few problems with DB2.
You have to give the time period definition a name (PDFPRIME, in this example), say when it starts and when it ends, and specify the time zone. The description isn’t mandatory, but you’ll probably find it useful when you’re looking at a list of period definitions and need to distinguish one from another. You can reuse this definition within the CICSplex any number of times, and for any of the CICSPlex® SM functions.
To get an analysis definition installed in a CICS system automatically, you have to create both an analysis specification and an analysis group. Begin with the analysis specification, though the order isn’t important.
The next step is to identify the CICS systems that are to use this specification.
If you want to check that the analysis group has been added to the analysis specification, from the main menu click Administration views-->MAS resource monitoring administration views-->Analysis groups in analysis specifications to open the RTA group in RTA specification tabular view. This view shows an entry for analysis specification RTSPAY02 with analysis group RTGPAY02.
If you want to check that the analysis definition has been successfully added to the analysis group, from the main menu click Administration views-->MAS resource monitoring administration views-->Analysis definitions in groups to open the RTA definition in RTA group tabular view. An entry is listed for RTA group RTGPAY02 with RTA definition RTDPAY02 for period PDFPRIME.
The newly installed analysis definition takes effect in any CICS system that belongs to group CSGAORS1 when that CICS system next starts. (You can also activate a new analysis definition immediately from the MAS view by switching real-time analysis off and back on again.)
