Enabling SA z/OS TWS Special Resources

About this task

To enable the SA z/OS TWS Special Resource tracking:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the SA z/OS Resources that are to be monitored are defined in SA z/OS.

    All these policy items are described in IBM Z® System Automation Defining Automation Policy in the section "Defining Automation for TWS Components" in "Product Automation Policy Object":

    1. Set the OPCA PCS Special Resources Policy.
      • Use NO if you do not want any Special Resources Set.
      • Use ALL if you want ALL SA z/OS Resources echoed as TWS Special Resources (this will create a large number of TWS special resources).
      • Use YES if you want a selection of SA z/OS Resources echoed as TWS Special Resources.
    2. If you specified YES above, ensure that the TWS Special Resources policy item is updated with the appropriate resource masks and linked to the appropriate systems via the WHERE USED entry.
  2. Ensure that the definitions for the TWS Status Observer are entered into the Automation Policy. The instructions for this are given in Defining the SA z/OS Status Observer.
  3. Ensure that TWS option RESOPTS DYNAMICADD(YES) is specified.
