Import System Automation Resources

It is recommended you use the SA z/OS resources defined in the add-on PDB *IBMCOMP.

Select the following entries:

Table 1. Receiver Names and Related Policies
Policy Entry Name	Policy Entry Type
RDSARCH	APL
RDS_ARCHIVER	APG
RDS_AUTOOPS	AOP

These SA resources ensure that the RDS archive task makes the RDS table persistent. The advantage is to start or stop archiving easily. Error situations reflected by error messages such as VSAM IO error could also be trapped in the message table and associated with the SA resource. The resource status might become broken indicating a severe error.

After importing the RDS_ARCHIVER and RDSARCH, the SA z/OS customization dialog defines an APG resource group that includes an APL resource RDSARCH. It provides the function to start or stop RDS archiving. Using INGTIMER as a PRESTART and REFRESHSTART command, the RDS archiving command will be scheduled on the automated function AOFRDSAR periodically every nn seconds. See Regular Snapshot.

After importing RDS_AUTOOPS the SA customization dialog defines the corresponding automated functions AOFRDSAR and AOFRDSEV. Note that the names of the NetView Automation Operators must match those that you define in member ING.SINGPRM(AOFOPFSO). You may customize this sample to your needs. By default the following mapping is used:

Table 2. RDS/SA Functions and NetView Operators
SA Automated Function/Operator	NetView Automated Operator
AOFRDSAR	AUTRDSAR
AOFRDSEV	AUTRDSEV
