The unique policy items for System Defaults entry type are:

AUTOMATION OPTIONS: This policy item is used to set system-wide options. See AUTOMATION OPTIONS Policy Item for more information.
AUTOMATION FLAGS: This policy item allows you to specify automation settings that are used as defaults for the system. The settings specified here are used if you do not provide specific automation settings for those entry types that allow automation. See the section SA z/OS Automation Flags in IBM Z® System Automation User's Guide for more information on setting automation flags.
THRESHOLDS: This policy item is used to set system-wide error thresholds. The settings specified here are used if you do not provide object-specific threshold settings. See the section How SA z/OS Uses Error Thresholds in IBM Z System Automation User's Guide for more information on error thresholds.

More than one set of System Defaults 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.
