To define the configuration of your CICS systems to CICSPlex® SM, and to define
your BAS, WLM, RTA, and monitoring requirements, you create CICSPlex SM objects, and associate them with each other. For each object,
and for each association or link between them, a record is created in a CICSPlex SM data repository. Figure 3 shows how the CICSPlex SM objects relate to each other.
These objects can be split into three categories:
- CICSplex and CICS® system objects, used for defining the CICSplexes
and CICS systems to be managed by CICSPlex SM. This includes defining the links between CICS systems
and creating CICS system groups. These objects are described in Designing your CICSPlex SM environment;
information on defining these objects is in Defining the CICSPlex SM configuration and topology.
- BAS objects, used for
logical scoping and managing the CICS resource definition and installation
processes. You can look on the objects in this category as defining what resources
you want your CICS systems to use. These CICSPlex SM objects are described in Multiple versions of a resource definition. Information on defining BAS objects is in Using full-function form BAS.
- Operation objects are those objects used for operating the CICS resources that
exist in running CICS systems. You can look on the objects in this category
as identifying the resources you want to monitor at run-time, for automated
workload management, automated exception reporting, and collection of statistical
data. These CICSPlex SM objects are described in Managing monitoring functions, Managing workloads, and Managing RTA.
