Introduction to CICSPlex System Manager
CPSM terminology review; Workload management; Real Time Analysis (RTA); CPSM components: Single-System Image (SSI), CPSM address space (CMAS), Maintenance Point (MP), MAS, the data repository (EYUDREP), Environment Services System Services (ESSS), the coordinating address space (CAS), Single Point Of Control (SPOC); Web User Interface (WUI) The interfaces to CICS TS V3.2 (CPSM) are discussed and used. Covered are the WUI, Batch Repository Utility (BATCHREP), and the definition utility (EYU9XDBT).


WUI Operation
WUI access; Logging on; Context and Scope; Using the product supplied views; navigation; Action commands; CEMT type commands such as CICSRGN, TASK and TRAN.


WUI Configuration
Using the COVC transaction; WUI repository; Control data sets; JCL changes; Importing and Exporting views.


WUI Customization
Using the WUI editors to customize MENUs and VIEWs, editing user groups and users using the USER editor, establishing and editing favourites.


CPSM Topology
Using the WUI to define a CICSPlex; CICSSYS; CICSGRP; Associating rules (such as WLM and RTA); Removing an association; Topology operation view: Using BATCHREP to move and define resources.


Operation Views
Selected views; selecting a resource: working with CONTEXT and SCOPE: using action commands.


CPSM Definitions for WLM and RTA
Discuss the use and benefits of WLM and RTA: Using the WUI to define CPSM WLM and RTA specification and subsequent rules such as, WLMSPEC and RTASPEC: SAM: MRM: RTADEF: STATDEF: and associations.


BAS Definitions
Using the WUI to define and control BAS definitions; resDEF, RESDESC; RASGNDEF; RESGROUP; SYSLINK; establishing controls to install resources using CPSM.


Optional Topic
End User Interface (EUI) comparison to the WUI. The EUI is not available at V3.2 .
