Introduction to CA SYSVIEW
4 Introducing CA SYSVIEW > Base Product > CICS Option z/OS JES2 > IMS Option USS > TCP/IP Option Parallel Sysplex > WebSphere MQ Option Workload Manager System Condition Monitor > CA-Datacom Option Graphical User Interface > Event Capture Option
5
Data Collection and Monitoring
> Environmentally friendly Low resource usage – Typically 3 - 5% > Customized collection levels > User-defined exceptions Thresholds States > Alerting and actions Central exception alerts Log for events Issue warning Trigger REXX exec – CA Common Services – CA OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation Send SNMP trap
CA SYSVIEW CICS Option
CICS Monitoring
> Overall health summary of all CICS regions > Full support for all IBM supported releases > One product to install and maintain > Single point of control for all CICS regions > Does not use CICS resources > CICS Status, Storage, Resource, Historical information
8
CICS Resource Monitoring
> Global user exits > Files > Journals/Logs > Kernel tasks > LSR pools > Programs > SIT > MRO/ISC links > Transaction classes > Transient data > Terminals > Timers > Transactions > VSAM files
CICS Status
9 > Active and suspended tasks > Degradation wait analysis > CICS domains > Dump statistics > Connections > Enqueues and enqueue pools > Automatic initiate descriptors (AIDS) > Interval control elements (ICE)
10
CICS Region Status
11
Degradation Analysis
12
CICS Storage
> Dynamic Storage Areas (DSAs) Extents Subpools Elements > Subspace areas Transaction isolation > Temporary storage
13
Dynamic Storage Areas
14
CICS Historical
> System interval analysis > Detailed transaction log > Transaction interval summary > Exception log > Log historical records to SMF
15
Transaction Log Detail
16
CICS Toolkit
> Resource management functions Automated response time management Transaction cancellation at shutdown – DFHTM1781 CICS shutdown cannot complete CICS dump management – Suppression policies CICS SMF 110 record suppression – Suppress records by transaction ID
Integration
18
Integration Example – CA OPS/MVS
> CA OPS/MVS® Event Management and Automation Direct interface between products Initiate automated actions before performance or service levels have been impacted – Performance alerts – Performance data collected and correlated – Take corrective actions Include powerful CA SYSVIEW commands as part of the automated response – Take corrective actions
CA SYSVIEW r12
Enhancements
– – Some r12 Highlights – CA Vantage GMI – – Persistent Data Store Audit Events CICS Highlights
CA Vantage GMI Component
– – Graphical User Interface (GUI) • Design as a extension to existing User Interfaces – Initial delivery is windows base CA Vantage GMI Servers to perform • • • • • Display Filter Sort Graph ………

Persistent Data Store of Product Settings
The CA SYSVIEW persistent data store is a mechanism that allows dynamic updates to be saved or hardened. Data can be saved and retrieved from the persistent data store. The persistent data store is a new CA SYSVIEW facility that preserves changes to data objects across multiple executions of CA SYSVIEW and across an operating system IPL. This environment lets you do the following Roll out product settings across multiple instances of CA SYSVIEW running in the same system or within the same SYSPLEX. Maintain data objects that contain various types of data collection, statistics, and configuration options that control the operation of the product. Save, retrieve, and copy the data from the persistent data store.
Audit Event
> Events occurring within CA SYSVIEW that change resources. The Audit Event can view and control the historical audit activities. > When an Audit Event occurs, you can do the following: Write record to SMF recording the event Write record to logstream recording the event Notify CA OPS/MVS of the event Issue a WTO message recording the event
r12 CICS Changes
> CICS Dynamic Library Definition DFHRPL dynamic allocation with CICS 3.2
The following DDNAMES are no longer needed in the CICS region’s JCL XPFCPARM XPFCLOG XPFCDUMP (no longer used)
r12 CICS Changes
> Numerous Command Enhancements – – – – – – – – – – CDOMAINS CGBLEXIT CICE CICSLIST CICSLOGR CICSSET CMONITOR CPROGRAM CSOCKETS CSYSDATA - CTASKS - CTCLASS - CTEMPSTG - CTHRESH - CTRANLOG - CTRANOPT - CTRANS - CTRANSUM - CTSPOOLS - CXLOGS > New Commands – CCHANNEL - CCONTAIN - CGATES - CTDSTATS
Future Direction
Product integration – Wily – CA OPS/MVS (more applications) CA Vantage GMI – Extensions Provide more intuitive analysis – Thresholds Historical – Extensions Inter-Operability
