What the Rule Processor is
The Rule Processor applications provide panels that you can use to create Rules to perform automation tasks such as
- suppress messages that appear on operator consoles
- provide automatic replies to certain events
- automatically send MainView AutoOPERATOR ALERTs based on events
In addition, if you have the BMC Impact Integration for MainView installed, you can send events from MainView AutoOPERATOR to a BMC Impact manager cell from a Rule. Refer to the MainView AutoOPERATOR BMC Impact Integration for z/OS User Guide for more information.
To best understand Rules and how Rules can help perform automation on your system, you must understand the following basic concepts:
- Events, What-events-are and Describing-events
- Rules, What-a-Rule-is and Creating-Rules
- Selection criteria, What-a-Rule-is and Step-1-Using-Selection-Criteria-fields
- Action specifications, What-a-Rule-is and Step-3-Specifying-a-Rule-s-actions-with-the-Action-Specification-fields
- Automation strategy, What-automation-strategy-is
