CICSPlex SM real-time analysis considerations for enterprise beans

The real-time analysis (RTA) function of CICSPlex® SM provides the automatic and external notification of conditions in which users have expressed an interest. Real-time analysis may be divided between several sub-components:

Clearly SAM is a useful function for reporting the availability of CICS regions, regardless of whether they are designated listeners or AORs. If you are executing enterprise beans in a distributed environment, then MRM may be more useful for monitoring the state of CorbaServers and DJARs, rather than the region based functions of APM. However, be aware that you cannot monitor enterprise bean objects themselves (EJCOBEAN and EJDJBEAN) within RTA. Enterprise bean inquiries may be keyed only on their corresponding CorbaServer or DJAR names. Specific inquiries may not be made solely on the enterprise bean name. An overview of the RTA function is given in CICSPlex System Manager Concepts and Planning. Full detail of the RTA function is given in CICSPlex System Manager Managing Resource Usage.
