Code Processing for OPC Workstation Domains

You can use this policy item to define the system or sysplex that SA z/OS routes the request that is associated with the message to.

See Figure 1.

Use the entry in the Code 1 field , NVxx, to specify a NetView automatic general workstation with a NetView domain index of xx. This is resolved in the Controller NetView into the target NetView system through the definitions in the Value Returned field. These can be:

  • The NetView domain ID
  • The name of a remote sysplex. SA z/OS determines one of the systems in the remote sysplex that has a Gateway connection with the local system. This system is then used to route the command to.

    A sysplex name should only be used for commands that operate sysplex-wide.

  • SYSPLEX. All SA z/OS systems in the local sysplex are queried for the status of the application that is associated with the job name of the request.
  • *LOCAL. The request is processed on the same system that the OPC controller runs on.

You can use the FIND command on the Code Processing panel to search the displayed data for a specific string. For more details, see How to Find Data in a Policy Item.

You can use line commands to manipulate the entries. You can also use operators in your code definitions to make comparisons with the values that are provided by the automation procedure. For more details see the online help.
