Modifying resources with real-time analysis

In addition to analyzing and reporting the status of CICS® resources, CICSPlex® SM can also modify the attributes of a resource. You can tell the real-time analysis component what modifications to perform when it determines that a resource is not in the desired state.

To have real-time analysis modify a resource, you must:

  1. Define the resource attributes you want to modify and their desired values in an evaluation definition (EVALDEF), as described in Creating an evaluation definition.
  2. Tell real-time analysis to perform the modifications when the evaluation condition becomes true in an analysis definition (RTADEF), as described in Creating an analysis definition.

real-time analysis performs any resource modifications that you request in addition to generating the usual external notifications for a condition. So when a notifiable condition occurs, you can have real-time analysis simply tell you about the condition, or tell you and attempt to correct it by modifying the affected resource.

Note:
Using real-time analysis to modify resources is most effective for evaluations that involve a single operational value, such as ENABLED/DISABLED or OPEN/CLOSED. For evaluations that involve resource thresholds, you cannot specify different modifications for different severity levels.
