Step 1: Defining SDF Hierarchy
Member AOFTREE in the NetView DSIPARM data set contains a set of definitions that define the propagation hierarchy for status color changes.
When the status changes for a component, the corresponding color change is propagated up or down
the tree to the next higher or lower level component. The level is determined by the level
number assigned to each component. The type of propagation is determined either by the entry
in the AOFINIT member or by individual requests to add a status descriptor to a status
component.
Note: SA z/OS does not use
this SDF hierarchy for subsystem shutdown or startup procedures. Instead, SA z/OS uses subsystem entries defined in
the automation policy to determine startup and shutdown relationships and
hierarchies.
