subject, the message cannot trigger any rules. You can thaw a frozen subject to
reactivate the messages containing that subject as triggers for the rules.
Simulate message flows and system times to test your rulesets. You can
capture real messages and save the messages in message sets. You can use a
message set as a source of repeatable test messages.
Capture statistics on a message handler to see how well the handler is
working. You use the information to modify your rules so that the handler
works better.
Perform maintenance functions on rules and rulesets: for example, copying
and deleting rules and rulesets.
Database—The database holds the rulesets and message sets.

Functional Description RMS provides you with a panel interface through which you can easily develop your
rulesets and rules as follows:
Create and maintain your rulesets and rules that you use to automate your system
operations.
Generate simulated events to test your rulesets so that you do not have to
artificially generate real events that may affect the operation of your system.
