Mainview Sc Training Sept 2012 - Day 1

The correct answer is "1": TA server can monitor multiple LPARS and multiple Views per LPAR. This means that a single TA server is capable of monitoring data from multiple production LPARs and setting thresholds for the installation. The TA server can handle multiple LPARs and multiple views within each LPAR, making it efficient and capable of monitoring all the necessary data.

The objective of Release "1" of Threshold Advisor is to achieve all of the mentioned goals. It aims to provide the MainView products with a unique feature that sets them apart from others in the industry. It also involves integrating CMM technology with MainView technology to enhance their capabilities. Additionally, it aims to provide an "advisor" tool that assists with MainView threshold management. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

The three new objects introduced with MVI 6.1 are calendar period, threshold set, and threshold selection. These objects likely serve specific functions within the MVI 6.1 system, such as managing time periods, defining thresholds, and making selections based on those thresholds.

The Threshold Advisor requires the 32-bit version of the JAVA runtime library because it is specifically mentioned as a critical component. This suggests that the software is designed to work with this particular version of the JAVA runtime library and may not be compatible with other versions.

The CASINFO view is suggested as a quick way to see if things are connected properly. This view provides information about the current status of the CAS (Central Authentication Service) system, which is responsible for managing authentication and authorization for multiple applications. By checking the CASINFO view, one can verify if the CAS system is running smoothly and if there are any issues or errors that need to be addressed.

The "Push" process of recommended threshold values from TA to the mainframe is a manual process that has to be initiated each time by the TA user from the TA console. This means that the TA user needs to manually trigger the process every time they want to push the recommended threshold values to the mainframe. It is not an automatic process that can be scheduled on the mainframe or Windows. Additionally, it is not managed by MainView Explorer.

The CASPARM registry is an RTCS Product registry for dynamic threshold information and versions. This means that it is a database or system that stores information related to dynamic threshold values and versions of the RTCS (Real-Time Communication Services) product. It is used to keep track of these important details and ensure proper functioning of the RTCS system.

UIM (User Interface Manager) is a system that allows for the management and display of user interfaces. In this context, UIM is being used to enable MVI (Model-View-Intent) to handle web services. MVI is an architectural pattern that separates the user interface logic from the business logic. By allowing MVI to handle web services, it means that MVI can now interact with and perform operations on web services, enhancing its capabilities and functionality.

This answer suggests that calendar periods cannot extend beyond midnight. In other words, a calendar period cannot start on one day and end on the following day. This is because calendar periods are typically defined as continuous spans of time within a single day, week, quarter, or year. Therefore, they cannot cross over into the next day by including time past midnight.

TA allows the user to set a maximum of 5 threshold severity levels.

The recommended thresholds calculated by TA will be pushed to all systems that TA processed and are connected to the target mainframe UIM Server. This implies that only the systems that TA has processed and are connected to the target mainframe UIM Server will receive the recommended thresholds. The other options, such as all systems in the Sysplex or all systems in the TA report, do not specify the connection to the UIM Server, which is a crucial factor in determining where the thresholds will be pushed.

Threshold Selection is used to determine which threshold sets should be applied when a calendar period is active. This means that depending on the specific time period, different threshold sets can be used to monitor and evaluate the performance of a product, table, or element in a view. By selecting the appropriate threshold sets for each calendar period, users can ensure that the thresholds are aligned with the specific conditions and requirements of that period, allowing for more accurate monitoring and analysis.

The recommended threshold values in TA need to be recalculated each time there is a change in the factors being selected for the study, such as the business week definition, statistical processing range, target system, etc. This is also applicable when there is a change in the objects for which the threshold is being calculated, such as workloads, systems, etc.

Threshold sets are used to define comparison values and display attributes. They determine when specific comparison values should be utilized and whether dynamic thresholds should be used or not. These sets help in setting benchmarks and determining if a certain value falls within acceptable limits or not. Additionally, they also specify the display attributes that should be applied when these thresholds are met or exceeded. Overall, threshold sets play a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing data by providing a clear indication of when certain values require attention or action.

The Registry Maintenance Utility is a tool that is specifically designed for the backup and restore of the CASPERM registry. It cannot be used by customers for any other purposes. However, it does have the capability to restore to a larger registry if needed. This means that if there is a need to expand the size of the registry, the utility can be used to restore the CASPERM registry to a larger size.

The correct answer states that the TA server pulls the most recent data shortly after the expiration of each MainView historical interval on the mainframe. This means that the TA server retrieves the data from the mainframe after a specific time interval has passed. This method ensures that the TA server always has the most up-to-date information from the MainView metric data.

When a TA-generated recommended threshold is pushed to the dynamic threshold repository on the mainframe, its status is "Enabled". This means that the threshold is active and in effect, ready to be used for monitoring and alerting purposes.

A "Confidence Level" is a statistically calculated measure that indicates the level of confidence or certainty in the validity of the results obtained from a statistical analysis. It helps to determine the range or interval within which the true value of a parameter is likely to fall. A higher confidence level indicates a greater degree of confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the results.

Operators and Views can change the Manual Calendar Periods. This means that both operators and users with view access have the ability to modify the calendar periods manually.

Dynamic thresholds in SSI nold are derived from the target systems. This means that the thresholds are determined based on the specific characteristics and requirements of each individual target system. The dynamic thresholds are not available for any system except the current system, as they are specifically tailored to the target system's needs. This approach ensures that the thresholds are optimized for each target system, allowing for more accurate and effective monitoring and management of system performance.
