Use the specification tab to work with event specifications
and capture specifications.
You can specify
general information for the event specification, consisting of a name
and a description. You can add and remove event information that you
want to capture for this event specification, and you can order the
items of event information.
You can add capture specifications
to the event specification. A capture specification defines the EXEC CICS® command, filtering, and data
values for the event. You can create more than one capture specification
for an event specification. For each capture specification, the editor
opens a notebook with the following three tabs:
- Capture Point tab
- Use this tab to choose the EXEC CICS command
that you want to associate with this capture point and provide a name
and description for the capture point.
- Filtering tab
- In this tab, you provide predicates to restrict the situations
in which an event is emitted. If you provide no predicates, events
are emitted every time the EXEC CICS command
that is chosen in the capture point tab runs in the target CICS system. Each predicate consists
of information identifying the predicate, an operator, and a value.
You can specify as many predicates as you need to identify the situation
in which you want this capture point to emit an event. You can specify
three types of predicates:
- Application Context
- Application Command Options
- Application Data
- Information Sources tab
- Use this tab to map the business information items that are associated
with the event specification to available data items for this capture
point. The tab consists of a table of the business information items
that you defined. To map the item, double-click the item, and the Edit
Information Source window opens.
