Issue/Introduction

 How do you send data from CA SYSVIEW to CA-OPS/MVS Event Management when a threshold is triggered?   

Resolution

In SYSVIEW you can define thresholds to be triggered when a metric value exceeds a specified limit.  SYSVIEW allows this information or event notification to be sent directly to OPS/MVS Event Management and Automation. When a metric exceeds the specified threshold limit, one option is to have SYSVIEW issue a console message indicating the exceeded value. Using event notification instead can reduce the number of console messages and reduce system overhead associated with processing those messages. On each event, the interface triggers an API rule and sends data to the rule. Each type of event has an associated set of variable names. The variables are read-only and are a data type of character.

 You can use the event notification process to send event notifications of MVS, CICS, Websphere MQ, IMS and TCP/IP exception data to OPS/MVS.

• To enable event notification for MVS, Websphere MQ, IMS and TCP/IP exception data, modify the SYSVIEW parmlib member SYSDATA, placing the following above the EOF:

  Member:SYSVIEW.CNM4BPRM(SYSDATA)
  Configuration Option              Value
  ------------------------------    ------
  OPSMVS-EVENT-NOTIFICATION         Yes

• To enable event notification of CICS Exception data, modify the SYSVIEW parmlib member CICSOPTS, placing the following above the EOF:

  Member:SYSVIEW.CNM4BPRM(CICSOPTS)
  Configuration Option              Value
  ------------------------------    ------
  OPSMVS-EVENT-NOTIFICATION         Yes

 

For all types of exception data, Yes is the default for OPSMVS-EVENT-NOTIFICATION.

For all event notification, make sure the APIACTIVE parameter is set to ON in OPS/MVS.

Events are processed by API rules and are triggered by Event Notification.
