Installing Your Automation Procedures

The installation process for a new automation procedure depends on the language in which the automation procedure is written.

  • If the automation procedure uses a compiled language, such as PL/I, C, or Assembler:
    1. Compile or assemble your source into an object module.
    2. Link-edit the object module into a NetView load library.
    3. Include an entry for the automation procedure in the CNMCMDU member of the NetView DSIPARM data set.
  • If the automation procedure uses an interpreted language such as NetView command list or REXX:
    1. Copy the automation procedure into a NetView command list library
    2. Optionally include an entry for this automation procedure in the CNMCMDU member of the NetView DSIPARM data set. Then it is more quickly found and invoked.
