Create CPSM Alerts when CMAS regions experience problems

When a CICSPLex/SM CMAS region encounters a problem such as a repository becoming full, being isolated or a storage shortage, it will issue an error message which may or not may be detected but issue no further indications.

Also issuing an RTA event would increase the likelihood of the issue being correctly identified and resolved.

    We have assessed this requirement. We have no current plans for this to be implemented and so this requirement is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    We agree in principle that problems in a CMAS should have their visibility increased. However, it is not clear that RTA is the best place for it.  RTA Events are scoped to a CICSPlex, not a CMAS which may manage multiple CICSPlexes.  If that is the case, which CICSplex would the alert be routed to?  There are some architectural issues that need further exploration before just saying that RTA should be used to highlight CMAS issues...... but we do not disagree with the notion of highlighting runtime problems with a CMAS.
