The Takeover file section shows the data set name of the takeover file, its status, and the I/O interval time.

The status may be ENABLED, ENABLED - IO SUPPRESSED (meaning the takeover file is still allocated but the PAM has stopped writing to it because of an earlier I/O error), or DISABLED (meaning the takeover file has been deallocated and the manager has stopped writing to it as a result of the operator selecting to DISABLE the takeover file).

SA z/OS® delays I/O to the takeover file for the number of seconds specified by the I/O interval. The in-storage pages are only marked to be written. This reduces the amount of I/O to the takeover file significantly, giving an update work item the same performance characteristics as a query work item.

The Service level section shows the current APAR level including the compilation date of the HSACMAIN module and the automation manager framework. This is used primarily for debugging purposes.

The PARMLIB settings section shows the BLOCKOMVS and Preference Settings.

The Workitem Statistics section shows the number of work items received from the various automation agents (that is, external work items) and the internally generated work items.

The CPU Time shows the processor time (in seconds) used by the automation manager.

The Suspended Systems section shows those systems that the sending of orders by the automation manager has been suspended for.

The Logic Deck section shows the date and time when the logic deck was built and the last APAR number of the logic deck.

The Diagnostic Info section shows details about the size of the state image and other useful information. This can be used when allocating the data set that will hold the snapshot data.

The Configuration section displays the data set name that the configuration is loaded from, the main configuration member name, and the include members with their timestamps.

Note that the last two sections (Configuration, and Diagnostic Info) are only present for the primary automation manager.
