Viewing and updating subsystem options

To view and modify (if authorized) selected subsystem settings, complete these steps.

Before you begin

An Advanced Allocation Management subsystem must be active to access the Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management Subsystem Settings panel.

Procedure

  1. From the Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management Primary Option Menu, type 2 (View/Update Options)
    The Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management Subsystem Settings panel opens. For example:

**- intercepts apply to ALL active Advanced Allocation Management subsystems
  2. View or update the following settings as needed.

    The following Fixed Subsystem Settings are view only:

    Option Description
    Subsystem ID The active subsystem ID.
    Started Task Name The name of the started task that is associated with the subsystem ID.
    Control Data Set Name The name of the control data set for the active subsystem.
    The following Modifiable Subsystem Settings can be modified by authorized users:
    Option Description
    Subsystem status The current subsystem status: enabled (E) or disabled (D). To change the status, specify one of the following options:
    E
    Enable the subsystem so that processing occurs.
    D
    Disable the subsystem so that no processing occurs.
    Active rule definition The name of the active rule definitions member of the control data set that is displayed in the Control Data Set Name field. To activate a rule definitions member, type the name of the rule definition member that you want to activate in this field and press Enter. To reactivate the same member, type an asterisk in this field.
    Note: Rule definitions must be activated for their definitions to take effect.
    Active VGRP definition The name of the active volume group definitions member of the control data set that is displayed in the Control Data Set Name field. To activate a volume group definitions member, type the name of the volume group definition member that you want to activate in this field and press Enter. To reactivate the same member, type an asterisk in this field.
    Note: Volume group definitions must be activated for their definitions to take effect.
    Current VAR Definition The name of the current user-defined variable definitions member of the control data set that is displayed in the Current VAR Definition field.
    The following Status Information fields are view only:
    Option Description
    Rule definition last activated The date in the format MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, and year) and time in the format HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds) that the rule definition member was last activated.
    VGRP definition last activated The date in the format MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, and year) and time in the format HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds) that the volume group definition member was last activated.
    VAR Definitions last set The date in the format MM/DD/YYYY (month, day, and year) and time in the format HH:MM:SS (hours, minutes, and seconds) that the variable definitions member name was last set.
    Modifiable Product-level Settings fields can only be modified by authorized users:
    Option Description
    Intercepts Status The current intercept status: enabled (E) or disabled (D). To change the status, specify one of the following options:
    E
    Enable product-level intercepts to allow Advanced Allocation Management to perform processing.
    D
    Disable product-level intercepts. Disabling the intercepts allows the Advanced Allocation Management started task to remain active without performing processing. Disabling the product-level intercepts can be useful in situations when you do not want to shut down Advanced Allocation Management completely (for example, for debugging purposes).
    Note: The Intercepts Status setting enables or disables product-level intercepts for all active Advanced Allocation Management subsystems. Enabling or disabling the product-level intercepts does not start or stop the Advanced Allocation Management started task.
  3. When you are finished viewing or updating the settings, press PF3 to exit.
