Automation policy management

Customization and policies
To work, SA z/OS requires a model of your application workload and some policy definitions that characterize your environment.
COLD, WARM, and HOT starts
The Automation Manager maintains data in the following data sets that are used if it fails or is restarted.
Manager data persistence during a COLD or WARM start
The default recommended type to start the IBM Z® System Automation Automation Manager is HOT.
Manage your System Operations Control File (SOCNTL)
The Automation Manager tracks the location of the SOCNTL data set in its files, and if an agent gets recycled, it asks the Automation Manager the location of the SOCNTL data set.
