Step 35B: Preparing the Automation Manager

The GDPS® controlling system must run in a separate XCF group (subplex) and therefore has its own automation manager. The automation manager parmlib member for the controlling system (K-system) is HSAPRMKS, using the z/OS system symbol &SYSCLONE as the XCF group ID. This allows the same parmlib member to be used for all controlling systems. The resulting XCF group will always be created in a unique way: INGXSGxx, where xx is the value of &SYSCLONE.

Copy and edit the automation manager startup procedure INGEAMSA. The same startup procedure can be used for the automation manager that controls the production systems and the automation manager that controls the K-system, assuming that the PARMLIB member suffix is specified on invocation of the procedure.
