Error description
INGEXEC */SYS/* should not try to issue the command on systems where no Automation Agent is active.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All SA z/OS V3R3, V3R4 and V3R5 customers * * using the INGEXEC command. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: INGEXEC should only send commands to * * systems where an Automation Agent is * * active. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The INGEXEC command should verify that an Automation Agent is active before selecting a resource and a system where the specified command should be processed. If there is no Automation Agent active then the specified command cannot be processed successfully.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
REXX part INGRYEXE has been modified to verify that an Automation Agent is running on the system where the specified resource resides.
