MainView AutoOPERATOR Rules

A Rule is a two-part statement: when the conditions of the first part of the statement are met (the selection criteria), the automation actions specified in the second part are performed.

When MainView AutoOPERATOR is installed, you can create Rules that provide automated actions such as issuing commands, creating ALERTs, or rerouting messages in response to IBM z/OS system events. MainView AutoOPERATOR Rules listen for these events. When the event occurs, the Rule fires and the automation action is taken.

When the MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ component is installed, you can create Rules for IBM MQ events. The IBM MQ events can originate either from queues within z/OS or from distributed platforms. MainView AutoOPERATOR listens for IBM MQ messages and recognizes them as event type MQS. Enabled Rules listen for these MQS messages and when the conditions of the Rule are met, the Rule fires to provide automated responses to the message.

Warning

Note

For MainView AutoOPERATOR for MQ to listen for and automate events from distributed queue managers (such as those running on Microsoft Windows, UNIX, or IBM OS/2, or OS/400 operating systems), you must define connectivity and activate communications between z/OS and distributed queue managers as described in Defining-connectivity.
