SA z/OS helps you to resolve pending I/Os for systems being removed from the sysplex.

See Recovery Actions and Managing System Removal for further details.

Because the automation must know where the system is located to send the command to the appropriate Support Element, you must use the customization dialog to define its hardware configuration.

The BCP Internal Interface allows you to perform hardware operations from each NetView in your sysplex member as long as its processor hardware supports this. Refer to IBM Z® System Automation Planning and Installation for more information.

Hint: If you want to use the IXC102A automation, make sure there is no processor operation related IXC102A automation defined in your automation policy. Likewise, if you want to continue to use the processor operations based automation of messages IXC102A and IXC402D, the IXC102A automation flag must be disabled.
