Step 10: Configure ISPF Dialog Panels

SysOps ProcOps
SA z/OS ships the following type of ISPF dialogs:
  • For defining automation policy: The customization dialog is used to create system operations and processor operations configuration and automation definitions.

These ISPF dialogs are invoked using the INGDLG exec. This exec provides parameters for selection of the appropriate dialogs. In addition, this exec can optionally be used to allocate the required dialog libraries. INGDLG should be invoked from an ISPF menu or from a user-defined TSO REXX exec. See INGDLG Command for more details.

Because you use the customization dialog to collect information and build control files, you normally need them only at the focal point. However, as the customization dialog allows editing of specific entry types by multiple users, you also need to observe the instructions given in the appendix Problem Determination in IBM Z® System Automation User's Guide.
