Usage Considerations on z/OS

Event Management on z/OS can be thought of as the following processes:

logrdr

Responsible for listening for messages from various sources: syslogd, CA Technologies, messages generated using the EM API, and messages that remote applications route.

caiopr

Responsible for creating the CA Technologies Event Management console from the various message sources. caiopr controls Store-and-Forward.

ca_calendar

Responsible for determining if a specific calendar is active or inactive based on the current date and time. If a message action is assigned a calendar profile, then ca_calendar must be active for the action to be taken.

stardaemon

Responsible for transmitting data from the z/OS computer to a remote Windows computer. When trying to connect using the Windows GUI, this process is responsible for doing the logon.

catrapd

Responsible for listening for SNMP traps. The traps that are received are displayed on the CA Technologies Event Management console.

The z/OS version does not provide such components as workload or security, which are best left to existing technologies already present on the mainframe.
