Editing or viewing a data policy definition
Use this procedure to review or modify the information that is saved for a data policy definition.
To edit or view information for a data policy in the control data set
- Access the BMC AMI Batch Optimizer Objects List panel (Creating-a-new-data-policy-in-the-control-data-set).
- Type E (Edit) in the action entry field to the left of the data policy that you want to edit, and press Enter.The Data Optimization Policy panel is displayed. The following figure is an example of the panel. This panel lists the definitions in the data policy. The list shows the order of the definitions.
- Review the Selection Criteria.The Selection Criteria column contains an abbreviated version of the selection information for each definition statement in the data policy member. If more selection criteria exist than can be displayed in the allotted space for a definition, a plus (+) sign is displayed at the end of the affected definition. You can view a complete list of selection criteria by positioning your cursor beneath the '+' and pressing Enter or by using the ES line command to select this definition. You can view the following abbreviations for selection criteria by positioning your cursor beneath the Selection Criteria column and pressing F1 for Help.
- DSN–data set name
- JBN–job name
- PGM–program name
- DTY–data set type (VSAM, NONVSAM, and ALLFILES)
- UID–RACF user ID
- JBC–job class
- J3C–JES3 //*MAIN job class
- STP–step name
- PRC–procedure step name
- DDN–data definition (DD) name
- DCL–SMS data class
- SCL–SMS storage class
- MCL–SMS management class
- GRP–RACF group
- TIM–time range (hhmm-hhmm)
Review the Action and Mode values and modify them if needed.For each definition, the list indicates the associated action and mode to employ (the Action and Mode fields). These two fields indicate the options that you explicitly specified or they indicate implied behavior based upon your selections. When creating or modifying a statement, if you indicate that Action or Mode or both should use the default value, these columns display the result of that choice. To view the options that are explicitly specified for a particular statement, select the definition statement by using one of the Edit line commands.
The following figure is an example of the panel. The customization process created this sample data policy. You can use this data policy for practice as you learn to manipulate data policies by using the BMC AMI Batch Optimizer dialog. You can edit this data policy to meet the needs of your site, or you can delete this data policy and create a new one.

******************************* Bottom of data ********************************The Data Optimization Policy panel is in a table format. Editing or viewing a data policy definition shows this panel as if it is displayed on a screen that is large enough to display all of the table rows.
- (optional) Change any input field on this screen by positioning the cursor in the field and typing a new value. Clear any characters that remain from the previously displayed value.
(optional) Change the data policy definitions by typing one of the following edit line commands to the left of the policy that you want to change:
- E - displays the complete definition
- EG - displays optimization options that affect all data sets
- EN - displays optimization options that affect nonVSAM data sets only
- EV - displays optimization options that affect VSAM data sets only
- ES - displays selection criteria only
The individual edit line commands enable you to reference only the data that is of interest to you. The commands are useful when you want to view or modify a subset of the optimization options for a specific definition.
If you select options E, EG, EN, or EV, the Data Policy Definition panel (or a variant of this panel with the appropriate subset information) is displayed.
The following figure shows an example of the panel. The customization process defines these sample data policy options.

Clear any characters that remain from the previously displayed value. Fields that are followed by a plus (+) sign can be prompted for a list of valid values by positioning the cursor on the field and pressing F4 (Prompt) or by positioning the cursor beneath the '+' and pressing Enter.
- (optional) Change the display if you want to modify a different subset of information or to see the comprehensive list of options.You can use F11 to toggle through the various displays or use the Display pull-down option and directly select a subset. If you display your function keys on the panel, the dialog sets the F11 label to the name of the next subset of data.
(optional) Determine the current default (global) values. You can press F6 or choose View => 2 (Default values) on the action bar to toggle the column to the right of the optimization value input fields between the valid settings and the default values display. This test helps you to see the results of applying the global defaults. An example is shown in the following figure.
