Automation policy is needed if you want to use system operations or processor operations automation functions.
Procedure
The process of defining automation policy comprises the following steps:
- At the configuration focal point where you have the customization dialog installed,
create the information in the policy database using
the ISPF input panels of the customization dialog.
-
Use the BUILD function of the customization dialog to produce the required output, that
is, the configuration files: automation control file
(ACF), automation manager configuration file (AMC), NetView automation table (AT), the message revision table (MRT),
and the MPFLSTxx file.
- Distribute the generated output to each system
in the SA z/OS enterprise
where SA z/OS system operations functions
are to run. In general, this is all of the z/OS systems
in the SA z/OS enterprise.
In a sysplex, the data set name of the automation control file must
be the same on all systems in the sysplex. However, it is highly recommended
that you use a shared data set in a sysplex, and if possible, to use
a shared data set for the whole enterprise.
