Attributes
Tivoli Enterprise Portal gathers data from remote agents running on systems within
your CICS network. It stores this data for OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS in elements
called attributes. Each attribute is a characteristic
of an object. For example, CICS Region Name is an attribute for a
specific CICS region.
- Attribute groups
- OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS attributes are grouped into numerous attribute groups
of related items. For example, the attributes in the CICS Service
Class Analysis group gather information about response time, transactions,
and performance data. These attributes correspond to the column names
in the table views and the items in the various graphic displays for
bar charts and so forth.
- Attributes and workspaces
- You can view the data reported for the attributes in the tables
and charts displayed in the OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS workspaces. This data enables
you to:
- Manage all CICS regions from a single point to identify problems
at any time
- Balance workloads across various regions
- Track performance against goals
For an understanding of how individual attribute groups relate
to workspaces, see Attribute groups used by the predefined workspaces.
- Attributes and situations
-
Various attributes are used in the predefined situations
for the product. You can also use the CICS attributes in your own
situations to monitor the performance of a single CICS region or multiple
regions. These situations can monitor one aspect of your enterprise
or analyze multiple conditions to alert you to problems and their
causes.
Note:
Certain attribute groups are not available
for use in situations; these are not listed when you invoke the situation
editor.
