4. EXCEPTIONS


The CA MICS CICS Analyzer supports the standard CA MICS
exception process.  CA MICS exception processing enables the
I/S organization to focus on problems impacting its
effectiveness in terms of availability, service, workload,
standards, security, and performance for its different areas
of responsibility (like CICS, TSO, IMS, and VSE/POWER).

The standard exceptions for the CA MICS CICS Analyzer are
shown in Figure 4-1.  Each standard exception test is shipped
with default values.  However, to make effective use of the
exception process, you must evaluate your data center's
needs and modify these sample values accordingly.
