function.autotask
Purpose
The function.autotask statement defines the autotask for the specified function. Refer to the CNMSTYLE member for specific information on the function.autotask statements.
Syntax
where:
- autotask_name
- Specifies the autotask name. The autotask name must be 1 - 8 alphanumeric characters in length; can contain no special characters except #, @, and $; and must start with either an alphabetic character or #, @, or $.
- function_name
- Specifies the function name. The function name can be 1 - 15 characters
and can contain letters, numbers, and periods. The first character
must be a letter.
You can prefix function_name with a question mark (?) and then use this in other areas of the NetView® program. This allows the function name to be used in many places where an operator ID is required. For example, you can use ?function_name on the AUTOTASK statement , the QOS command, and the AUTOTASK command.
Usage notes
- For a list of autotasks and their functions, see IBM® Tivoli® NetView for z/OS® Installation: Getting Started.
- The function.autotask.primary statement provides a set of related
processes, possibly including timed commands, message automation,
data services task (DST) services, and control (operator) commands.
This statement is also the autotask that is used when an error is
encountered with the task name on another function.autotask statement.
Because of this, the
function.autotask.primarystatement is required and cannot contain a value of *NONE*. - The following statement is used by MultiSystem Manager:
The MSMdefault autotask is used if the AUTOTASK keyword is not specified on the GETTOPO command and the related service point object is not in RODM.(MSM)function.autotask.MSMdefault = AUTOMSMD - For any autotasks that you define to the NetView program, also consider defining them to the SAF product. The automation table and other NetView functions use these definitions.
