Defining Common Automation Items

There are definitions that relate to utilities running as a started task. The first one (Temporary Data Set HLQ/TEMPHLQ) replaces the usage of the first qualifier of the automation status file.

The second definition (Started Task Job Name/STCJOBNM) allows the unique assignment of started task job names scheduled by the automation in case you have dedicated job name assignments that conflict with the procedure names provided by the automation.

It is recommended that you define the Temporary Data Set HLQ/TEMPHLQ. If it is not defined, the automation uses the first qualifier of the automation status file.

You can define both of these items using the Sysplex Policy Definition panel that is displayed if you select the policy item SYSPLEX from the Policy Selection panel for sysplexes. For more information, refer to the online help or the section "More About Policy Item SYSPLEX" in IBM Z® System Automation Defining Automation Policy .
