CA OPS/MVS System State Manager

CA 1 can automatically communicate active status events and heart beat events to CA OPS/MVS EMA. The communication is established through a generic active status or heartbeat event API call that CA OPS/MVS EMA provides. With this feature, other products can communicate events consistently to CA OPS/MVS EMA.

If CA 1 and CA OPS/MVS are active in the same z/OS image, CA 1 automatically communicates these automation events to CA OPS/MVS. By generating active status events CA 1 and other CA products communicate to CA OPS/MVS System State Manager (SSM) component when they are starting, up, stopping, or down.

CA 1 can use a heart-beat event to communicate normal, warning, or problem overall health status and reasons to CA OPS/MVS at regular intervals. CA OPS/MVS can react to the lack of a heart beat event from CA 1 as an indication that there is either a potential problem with CA 1 or there is a larger system-level problem taking place.
