Step 17A: Build the Control Files

IBM recommends that you use the SA z/OS best practice sample policies to define your SA z/OS components. When you have defined the policies for the SA z/OS components, use the BUILD command to create the configuration files. The BUILD command is available from various panels of the customization dialog. For more information about how to perform this step, refer to IBM Z® System Automation Defining Automation Policy. You can use the sample job INGEBBLD in the SINGSAMP sample library to create the configuration files in batch.

Note: It is mandatory to use the SA z/OS customization dialog to create policy objects for the resources you want to automate. Do not edit the automation configuration files manually. A manually edited automation control file may damage your automation.
