The CSS Event Management Utilities provide services that enable mainframe applications to integrate with Event Management running on z/OS and other platforms, through z/OS assembler and C language interfaces.
Frequently, applications running on z/OS route alerts to Event Management. Often, these applications run in environments where directly generating Event Management alerts are difficult or impossible. Because there are many ways to integrate with Event Management, it can be difficult for any particular application to support all possible configurations. The Event Management Utilities provide a way of achieving CA Technologies integration in most of these cases.
Tasks running in most z/OS environments—such as TSO, batch, or started task address spaces, and IDMS, CICS, and IMS transactions—can invoke Event Management Utilities. No special privileges are needed, and assembler programs can use the utilities without requirements for the IBM Language Environment (LE) or USS. To ensure top performance, most processing occurs asynchronously under the direction of a separate utility server process in its own address space. This design results in a service that nearly any application can use, including applications with strict performance constraints.
The overall utility interface consists of three components:
