TWS Automation Special Resources

TWS Automation is able to globally control the creation and setting of TWS special resources based on the status of SA z/OS-monitored subsystems.

This will allow TWS to resolve job scheduling dependencies based on the status of SA z/OS managed resources.

The TWS special resources created or set by this function are:
ING.res_sys.res_type.res_name.UP, and
ING.res_sys.res_type.res_name.DOWN
where:
res_sys
is the MVS sysid of the system where the subsystem status change was detected. If the resource is a SYSPLEX application group, the value SYSPLEX is used or the value is the sysplex name depending on the setting of AOF_AAO_TWS_RESYSPLEX advanced automation option (AAO).
res_type
is one of APL, APG, SYS, SYG, GRP, or MTR.
res_name
is the name of the resource.
UP
is a literal that defines the resource as being available only when the resource has an observed status of AVAILABLE and a desired status of AVAILABLE.
DOWN
is a literal that defines the resource as being available only when the observed status of the resource is one of the following Automation Manager statuses:

SOFTDOWN, HARDDOWN, STANDBY, UNKNOWN, SYSGONE,

and when its desired status is UNAVAILABLE.
