 Enter or update the following table names:

   Netview domain name. . . SYSPLEX 
   OPC controller subsystem X          
   OPC Special resources    NO     (YES NO ALL)

The OPCA PCS automation definition defines the NetView domain that the OPC Controller resides on and specifies the MVS subsystem name for the OPC Controller system.

Fill in the following fields:

NetView domain name

Specify the parameter as either a NetView domain ID (up to five characters) or the keyword SYSPLEX. If a domain ID is specified, it indicates that the OPC Controller always runs on the specified domain. The keyword SYSPLEX indicates that the OPC Controller may be run on any one of the systems in the local sysplex.

OPC controller subsystem

The MVS subsystem name of the OPC Controller as defined in the IEFSSNxx member.

When defining the OPC Controller as a separate application, the subsystem name and job name must be this OPC controller subsystem name.

OPC Special resources

The following entries are valid:

YES: The OPC special resources will be set for any SA z/OS-monitored subsystem that is specified in the OPC special resource definitions panel (see Figure 1). Ensure that OPC Special Resources are defined if using this option.
If YES is specified, but no OPC Special Resources are defined, then it is processed as NO during configuration file build.
NO: No Special Resources will be set. This is the default.
ALL: Special Resources will be set for all SA z/OS Monitored subsystems. No Special Resource entries are required.
