Select the application that you want to automate the recovery for and then select its MESSAGES/USER DATA policy item.

In the REXX script that you will write in Step 4: Write the REXX Script, you will compare the percentage value returned from the ARC0909E message with the value specified here, and, if it exceeds your specified value, you will cause SA z/OS to issue the commands specified in Step 3: Update the NetView Automation Table. If you later decide to start recovery if 95% usage is exceeded, you need not edit your REXX script, but only your customization dialog input and then rebuild your system operations configuration files.
