You can customize the importance of actions, objects, and symptoms as they are related to each other. These priority weighting factors are used by Db2 Automation Expert when calculating the priority of an action in a maintenance window. A higher priority causes an action to be processed first in a maintenance window. You can also specify how Db2 Automation Expert is to treat actions with multiple symptoms.
About this task
Each priority represents the percentage of its weight as compared to the other priorities. Items with a higher priority are processed before items with a lower priority. The total allocation must be less than or equal to 100%. A priority of 0 indicates that those items will be ignored.
Procedure
On the Db2 Automation Expert main menu, enter 11 in the Option field and press Enter.
On the Automation Console, enter 8 in the Option field and press Enter.
The Action Object Symptom Priority panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure: Figure 1. Action Object Symptom Priority panel
AUTOXPRT V1R1 ----- Action Object Symptom Priority ---- 2023/11/01 14:10:48
Option ===> Db2 Subsystem: SS01
This panel allows you to specify the overall priority of actions, objects,
and symptoms. The priority tells maintenance windows what items are more
important to you. Items with a higher priority are ranked higher than the
other items and will be processed before items with a lower priority. The
total allocation must be less than or equal to 100%. A priority of 0
indicates that those items will be ignored.

When there are multiple symptoms for an action, you must define how the
symptoms are to be evaluated. A averages the priorities of the symptoms.
H uses the symptom with the highest priority.
Multiple Symptom Processing A (A - Average, H - Highest)
Modify the action, symptom, and object priorities as desired.
Enter each priority as a percentage. Valid values are from 0 to 100. The total of all three values must be less than or equal to 100%. If you enter 0, the item will be ignored when Db2 Automation Expert evaluates actions for processing.
Specify a value in the Multiple Symptom Processing field.
When there are multiple symptoms for one action, this field specifies how the priority of the action will be calculated. Enter A to use the average of the priorities of multiple symptoms for an action. Enter H to use the symptom with the highest priority.
When you are finished modifying these values, press PF3 (END).
The Automation Console is displayed with a message that confirms the update.
