The unique policy items for MVSCOMP Defaults are:

MVSESA INFO: This option allows you to specify a captured messages limit as the maximum number of messages that will be captured for each MVSESA resource while SA z/OS is running. These messages will show up in the SA z/OS command DISPSYS. If the field is left blank the value can be inherited from the system defaults definition. If neither of them is specified, a default value of 0 is used.
You can use the Inform List field to specify where each MVSESA resource is registered to and who all status changes are propagated to. Valid values are SDF, EIF, E2E, IOM, ITM, TTT and USR. You can specify one or more values. If the field is left blank the value can be inherited from the systems default definition. If the resource should not be registered at all, specify NONE. This will prevent inheritance from systems default definitions. If nothing is specified, no status changes are propagated. If E2E is specified, the resources will be shown on the e2e domain view. This applies only to resources that are directly attached to a system or sysplex. For others, the specification will be ignored.
AUTOMATION FLAGS: This option allows you to specify automation settings that will be used as defaults for MVS Components. The settings specified here will be used if you do not provide specific automation settings for MVS Components. See the section SA z/OS Automation Flags in IBM Z® System Automation User's Guide for more information about setting automation flags.
THRESHOLDS: This policy item is used to set default error thresholds for MVS Components. The settings specified here will be used if you do not provide specific thresholds for MVS components. See the section How SA z/OS Uses Error Thresholds in IBM Z System Automation User's Guide for more information about error thresholds.

More than one MVSCOMP Default may be attached to a system, but it is recommended that you attach only one to avoid data being overwritten during SA z/OS initialization or an INGAMS REFRESH.
