Step 35C: Defining the Automation Table Used by GDPS®

GDPS provides an automation table (AT) named GEOMSG01. It contains user fragments GEOMSGU1 and GEOMSGU2, as well as product provided fragments that contain AT message traps. The GEOMSG01 AT is loaded automatically when the tower GDPS is set.

You can use the following user AT fragments to handle message traps that are supplied by GDPS:
  • GEOMSGU1 for messages that should not flow into the GDPS provided AT fragment.
  • GEOMSGU2 for messages that do not have an entry in the GDPS provided AT fragment.

For messages that should be processed by a user AT as well as the GDPS ATs, you should use a separate AT that is activated in parallel. You can achieve this by specifying multiple AT members in the SYSTEM INFO policy of the system (entry type SYS).

Note: GDPS clients should also review appropriate GDPS documentation for MPFLSTxx recommendations.
