Occasionally situations or events may arise that require a quick, consistent, and correct response to ensure that operations continue to run smoothly. The CA NSM JM Option provides facilities to identify these events and specify automatic responses.
A trigger profile specifies a special event for which the CA NSM JM Option should be prepared. When an event occurs that matches a trigger profile, the CA NSM JM Option automatically “trips” that trigger and sends a message to the Event Console where a message action is invoked.
For example, assume you download an updated database to your system on a weekly basis and you want a number of reports to run as soon as the file transfer is complete. To automate the sequence, you can define a File Close (DCLOSEU) trigger profile and a message action profile. When the file closes, the trigger is detected, the appropriate message is issued, and the message action profile demands a jobset containing all of the necessary report jobs.
The CA NSM JM Option lets you define triggers for the following events:
Once a trigger “trips,” its associated message action profile executes. For a description of message action processing, see Trap Important Event Messages and Assign Actions in the “Administer Critical Events” chapter.
Triggers can be defined to be associated with a calendar so that although a triggering event may occur at any time, the trigger is only tripped when its associated calendar determines it is appropriate. When a trigger profile has no associated calendar, it is always in effect; it is scheduled every day and never marked complete.
