In SA z/OS the term resource denotes
any entity that can be automated. The automation manager
administrates resources.
A resource is identified by its name. The resource name must be unique within the automation manager name space. The format of the resource name is
name/type[/system]. The three components of the resource name can be the following:
Name
Specifies the name of the resource, for
example the subsystem name for an application (APL) or the automation name for an application group
(APG).
Type
Specifies the type of the resource. The type parameter is optional. It can have the
following values:
APL
Indicates that the resource is a subsystem.
APG
Indicates that the resource is an application group.
EVT
Indicates that the resource is an event.
MTR
Indicates that the resource is a monitor.
SVP
Indicates that the resource is a service period (schedule).
SYG
Indicates the group of all resources of a system. SYG is created automatically. This
is the application group that contains all resources of a particular system.
SYS
Indicates that the resource is a system.
System
Specifies the system/image name where the resource is defined. The system parameter
is not used for sysplex resources, for example, sysplex application groups, events or service
periods.
If the resource that you specified is not unique within
the domain of the automation manager,
a selection panel is displayed where you can select what you want
to work with, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Resource Selection
