Creating CSM start and stop Rules for the APPC object


To create start and stop Rules for the APPC object, complete the following steps.

Warning

Use this process only if you have modified BBPARM member AAOPRMxx and specified MSGJOBNM=ACTUAL. If you are using the default or specified MSGJOBNM=ORIGIN, these steps no not apply.

The CSM-generated start and stop Rules are created for APPC, but do not fire because these Rules have an IMFOJOB variable value equal to APPC as selection criteria and the IMFOJOB variable value for APPC is equal to CONSOLE.

The APPC object might be started and UP, but the actual state is never recognized by CSM as UP.

To define the APPC object in CSM and create its start and stop Rules

  1. On the Add NEW Object panel for APPC, specify NO in the Generate the Rules field.
  2. Build a start Rule by specifying ATB007I on the Text Id field of the Selection Criteria panel.
  3. On the Variable Dependencies panel, specify !CSM.ACTIVEFLAG EQ YES.
  4. On the Automation Specification panel, specify YES for the Display at dest. field, and specify CSMUP CSMUP APPC on the EXEC Name/Parms field.
  5. Ensure that the Rule resides in a Rule Set other than AAORULCM and AAORULBC.
  6. Build a stop Rule by specifying ATB002I on the Text Id field of the Selection Criteria panel.
  7. On the Variable Dependencies panel, specify !CSM.ACTIVEFLAG EQ YES
  8. On the Automation Specification panel, specify YES for the Display at dest. field, and specify CSMDOWN CSMDOWN APPC on the EXEC Name/Parms field
  9. Ensure that the Rule resides in a Rule Set other than AAORULCM and AAORULBC.Note that, any time you create a Start Rule and Stop Rule, you must not attempt to add them to Rule Sets AAORULCM and AAORULBC. The Rules can be added to any other Rule Set.
