Identifying Current Configuration Files

The automation configuration file is the file that controls system-level automation. It contains the SA z/OS automation policy, which specifies what, when, and how to automate. The NetView automation table (AT) specifies which automation procedure to run when various messages are received. The message revision table (MRT) enables user-defined modification of the attributes and text of original z/OS messages.

An automation configuration file is made available during SA z/OS initialization. The AT and MRT are loaded into NetView and the automation manager configuration file is loaded into SA z/OS.

Before refreshing the configuration file, you might need to identify the one that is currently active. The following sections describe how to identify the configuration file that is being used by an automation agent or the primary automation manager.

For an Automation Agent

You can use the DISPSYS command to identify the automation configuration file that is currently active. Identifying Current Configuration Files shows an example of the information that is displayed.

You can also use the details option of the INGAMS command. If you enter the command code B (Show Details) for an automation agent, it displays the DISPSYS output shown in Identifying Current Configuration Files.

For the Primary Automation Manager

To identify the current automation manager configuration file, you use the details option of the INGAMS command. On the INGAMS command dialog, you enter the command code B (Show Details) for a primary automation manager. A panel similar to Figure 2 is displayed, which shows relevant information about the configuration files.

You can also use the INGAMS command in line mode: 
INGAMS DETAILS name OUTMODE=LINE
Where name is the name of the primary automation manager.
