MVS Component Entry Type

This entry type allows you to apply automation to various z/OS data sets, resources and facilities, which are referred to as MVS components.

You can set error thresholds and automation flags for the following MVS components:

  • MVSDUMP (SYS1.DUMP00–xx)
  • SMFDUMP (SYS1.MANx)
  • LOGREC (SYS1.LOGREC)
  • SYSLOG (SYS1.SYSLOG.INDX)

In addition, you can customize the recovery procedure that is used for a WTOBUF overflow and automate responses to messages that are issued for MVS components.

Figure 1 is displayed when you select MVS Component from the Entry Type Selection menu.
