Introduction to CA SYSVIEW

Introducing CA SYSVIEW > Base Product § z/OS § JES 2 > CICS Option > IMS Option § USS > TCP/IP Option § Parallel Sysplex > Web. Sphere MQ Option § Workload Manager § System Condition Monitor § Graphical User Interface 4 > CA-Datacom Option > Event Capture Option

Data Collection and Monitoring > Environmentally friendly > Alerting and actions § Low resource usage – Typically 3 - 5% > Customized collection levels > User-defined exceptions § § 5 Thresholds States 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

CICS Resource Monitoring > Global user exits > MRO/ISC links > Files > Transaction classes > Journals/Logs > Transient data > Kernel tasks > Terminals > LSR pools > Timers > Programs > Transactions > SIT > VSAM files 8

CICS Status > Active and suspended tasks > Degradation wait analysis > CICS domains > Dump statistics > Connections > Enqueues and enqueue pools > Automatic initiate descriptors (AIDS) > Interval control elements (ICE) 9

CICS Region Status 10

Degradation Analysis 11

CICS Storage > Dynamic Storage Areas (DSAs) § Extents § Subpools § Elements > Subspace areas § Transaction isolation > Temporary storage 12

Dynamic Storage Areas 13

CICS Historical > System interval analysis > Detailed transaction log > Transaction interval summary > Exception log > Log historical records to SMF 14

Transaction Log Detail 15

CICS Toolkit > Resource management functions § Automated response time management § Transaction cancellation at shutdown – DFHTM 1781 CICS shutdown cannot complete § CICS dump management – Suppression policies § CICS SMF 110 record suppression – Suppress records by transaction ID 16

Integration

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 18

CA SYSVIEW r 12

Enhancements – Some r 12 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

r 12 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)

r 12 CICS Changes > Numerous Command Enhancements – CDOMAINS - CTASKS – CGBLEXIT - CTCLASS – CICE - CTEMPSTG – CICSLIST - CTHRESH – CICSLOGR - CTRANLOG – CICSSET - CTRANOPT – CMONITOR - CTRANS – CPROGRAM - CTRANSUM – CSOCKETS - CTSPOOLS – CSYSDATA - 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
