Narrative:

Just after leveling at 10000 ft MSL on jonez 3 arrival, I heard approach advise another aircraft of our position and altitude. Next, they advised us of traffic at 12 O'clock at the same time we received a TCASII TA. TCASII showed the target at 12 - 1 O'clock about 2 mi and 500 ft below us. We received and I responded to a TCASII RA which commanded a climb to 10800 ft before we received the clear of conflict announcement. The first officer visually acquired the target as it passed our 1 O'clock position, and idented it as a cessna -- possibly a C172 -- flying in a northeast direction. We received the TCASII RA as we passed over raboo on the arrival.
