SDF Components

SDF consists of the following components:

Table 1. SDF Components
Name Type Purpose
AOFTDDF Task Initializes SDF and maintains the status database. This initialization is an automated function.
SDF Command Starts an SDF operator session.
SDFTREE Command Dynamically loads or deletes an SDF tree structure definition member from the NetView DSIPARM data set.
SDFPANEL Command Dynamically loads or deletes an SDF panel definition member from the NetView DSIPARM data set.
AOFINIT Input file Contains SDF initialization parameters defined with the statements described in IBM Z® System Automation Programmer's Reference. AOFINIT is in the NetView DSIPARM data set.
AOFTREE Input file Contains tree structures described in IBM Z System Automation Programmer's Reference. This member usually consists of a list of %INCLUDE statements referencing other members containing tree structures. AOFTREE is in the NetView DSIPARM data set.
AOFPNLS Input file Contains SDF panel parameters defined by the statements described in Step 2: Defining SDF Panels. This member usually consists of a list of %INCLUDE statements referencing other members containing panel definitions. AOFPNLS is in the NetView DSIPARM data set.
panel_name Input file A DSIPARM member containing the definition of one or more SDF panels or %INCLUDE statements identifying other DSIPARM panel definition members. It is highly recommended that panel definition members contain the definition of a single panel having the same name as the member.
tree_name Input file A DSIPARM member containing the definition of one or more tree structures. It is highly recommended that tree definition members contain the definition of a single tree having the same root component name as the member name.
