Define an Application Policy Object

To add a new application to SA z/OS, you must create and define a new Application policy object using the SA z/OS customization dialog.

With the customization dialog, you also define how the new application should be automated by SA z/OS, for example:

• Specifying startup or shutdown commands for the application,
• Specifying the appropriate monitoring routine,
• Specifying relationships to correlate it with other applications,
• Linking the application into an application group,
• Considering where the applications should be visible.

SA z/OS provides Best Practice policies containing solutions for several products. The solutions are illustrated in PDF file format located in Add-on policies.

How to add a new application and how to access System Automation's Best Practice solutions is described in detail in IBM Z® System Automation Defining Automation Policy .
