In this example you’ll see how to use an evaluation definition and an analysis definition to modify a CICS® resource when it is not in the desired state. This example is an extension of the example in Reusing analysis specifications and analysis groups, in which you saw how to monitor files in the CICS system group called CGSAORS1. You will be using the Time Period Def (PDFCHECK) and the Action Def (RTAPAY12) from that example.
From the current view, issue the command EVALDEF. From the EVALDEF view, issue the command CRE. Complete the first Create Evaluation Definition panel as shown here:
------------------- Create Evaluation Definition for PLXPROD1------------------ COMMAND ===> Name ===> RTEPAY12 Description ===> REMFILE PAYFILA* enabling Sample Interval ===> 60 Interval between samples in seconds TableName ===> REMFILE Resource Table Name or * Instance Pattern ===> PAYFILA* Specific or generic pattern Result Set Action ===> ANY Operation(ALL,ANY,SUM,MIN,MAX,AVG,CNT) Separate Task ===> NO Run as a separate task (YES, NO) Evaluation Column ===> ENABLESTATUS Column name to evaluate or * either Operator ===> NE (EQ,NE,LT,GT,LE,GE) Value ===> ENABLED Severity ===> VHS (VLS,LS,LW,HW,HS,VHS) or set Thresholds: Provide 3 low and/or 3 high values, N=Normal VLS LS LW (N) HW HS VHS View ===> REMFILE View invoked for this Evaluation Type DOWN or UP to view other Evaluation Definition screens. Press Enter to create Evaluation Definition. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without creating.
Issue the DOWN command and complete the second Create Evaluation Definition panel as shown here:
------------------- Create Evaluation Definition for EYUPLX01------------------ COMMAND ===> Name ===> EYURTE01 Filter string expression: (Type FILTER to list columns) ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> Modification string expression: (Type MODIFY to list modifiable columns) ===> ENABLESTATUS=ENABLED, OPENSTATUS=OPEN. ===> ===> ===> Type DOWN or UP to view other Evaluation Definition screens. Press Enter to create Evaluation Definition. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without creating.
In this example, the modification string expression modifies the ENABLESTATUS and OPENSTATUS attributes to make the specified files available.
From the current view, issue the command RTADEF. From the RTADEF view, issue the command CRE. Complete the Create Analysis Definition panel as shown here, and press Enter:
------------------------ Create Analysis Definition for PLXPROD1 -------------- COMMAND ==> Name ===> RTDPAY14 Description ===> Appl file check and modify Perform Ops ===> YES Perform EVALDEF operations changes (YES, NO) Sample Interval ===> 60 Interval between samples in seconds (1-86400) Action Name ===> RTAPAY12 Action definition name or generic VLS LS LW HW HS VHS Entry Intervals ===> 0001 0001 0001 0001 0001 0001 Exit Intervals ===> 0001 0001 0001 0001 0001 0001 Evaluation expression: ===> RTEPAY12 ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> ===> Press Enter to create the Analysis Definition. Type END or CANCEL to cancel without creating.
The Perform Ops field indicates that the resource modification defined in the evaluation definition should be performed when the evaluation condition is true.
In the RTADEF view, tab to the entry for RTDPAY14, and issue ADD from the line-command field. The Add RTADEF to Analysis Group panel is displayed.
In the Analysis Group field, specify RTGPAY02. In the Active Period field, specify PDFCHECK.
The Analysis Group RTGPAY02 already exists and it has already been associated with the analysis specification RTSPAY02. Therefore, analysis definition RTDPAY14 is installed automatically in the CICS systems in group CSGAORS1 when those systems are next started, for the period of time defined in PDFCHECK.
