Issuing Commands

Statement 1 in Figure 1 issues a system command directly from the automation table. The statement automates message A in Figure 2.

When the NetView® program receives message A , it issues the MVS™ START command for the sample procedure CLRLOG, which clears the SYS1.LOGREC data set. CLRLOG goes to the autotask AUTO1 for processing. MVS is a NetView command processor that enables the entry of the MVS system, subsystem, and application commands from the NetView program. The command you issue can also be a NetView or VTAM® command, which you can issue directly from the automation table without any preceding command processor.

In statement 1 , the command to be processed is routed to only one operator and goes to the autotask AUTO1. Because no action is taken if AUTO1 is not active, you can specify the statement in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Specifying Multiple Autotasks and Operators on the ROUTE Command

ROUTE(ONE AUTO1 opid1 opid2 opid3)

In the ROUTE command in Figure 1, opid1, opid2, and opid3 are other autotasks or operator IDs. In that case, the command is routed to the first one on the list that is active or logged on.

Statement 2 in Figure 1, uses the same techniques to print the SYS1.LOGREC data set upon receipt of message ID IFB060E, message B in Figure 2.
