All system activities are called events. TASM detects when they occur and acts based on the rules you define for that event. The following are the two types of events:
- Planned environment events, such as a batch window or a scheduled time for month-end processing
- Unplanned events, such as a down AMP, that trigger a system health condition
You can define your own planned environment and system health events. You can combine one or more planned events into a planned environment. To define events in Viewpoint Workload Designer, edit the state matrix directly or select the Setup Wizard button in the States view.
TASM evaluates and acts on events based on the Event Interval you define in the Other tab of the General view in Viewpoint Workload Designer.
