CICSPlex SM resource monitoring considerations for enterprise beans

CICSPlex® SM monitoring allows the collection of performance-related data, at user-defined intervals, for named resource instances within a set of CICS® systems. Currently, no performance-related data is recorded for specific EJB objects (CorbaServers and DJARs). However, performance data for the IIOP request receiver and request processor transactions are available as normal, and so the execution performance of enterprise beans may be monitored through an associated transaction code (see the CICSPlex System Manager Monitor Views Reference). Users will require request models and CIRP clones for each bean that needs to be monitored, in the same way as for enterprise bean workload separation, described in Workload separation. However, CICSPlex SM monitoring is not integrated with BAS logical scoping, so your monitor views scope should be set to the physical CICS group that covers the regions to be monitored, rather than the BAS resource description that installed the transaction definitions. An overview of the monitoring function is given in the CICSPlex System Manager Concepts and Planning. Full details of the monitoring function is given in CICSPlex System Manager Managing Resource Usage.
