Example SDF Definition

This section shows an example of defining SDF. This example is not reflected by the SA z/OS DSIPARM member AOFTREE.

In this example, two separate systems (SY1 and SY2) are defined to SDF so that SDF can monitor both systems. The example shows the entries that are required to define and customize SDF, including:

  • SDF tree structure definitions
  • SDF panel definitions
  • SDF initialization parameters in AOFINIT
  • SDF Status Details definitions
Notes:
  1. This example assumes that SA z/OS focal point services are already implemented so that status can be forwarded from one system to another using notification messages.
  2. It is also assumed that the advanced automation option (AAO) common globals AOF_AAO_SDFROOT.n (AOF_AAO_SDFROOT_LIST[n] are deprecated) define the SDF root names that are to be applied (see IBM Z® System Automation Customizing and Programming). If the common global is not specified SA z/OS will automatically set the global to the local system name.
