Defining and activating functions

Before you begin

• Define a filter list (in an SMFLSTxx member), with MODE=ACTIVE, and with INCLUDE parameters to apply the function to a set of resources (data sets, volumes, pools, jobs, and so on). To define a filter list, see Using SMFLSTxx—filter list parameters.

• Define a rule list (in an SMRLSTxx member) that specifies how resources are affected. To define a rule list, see Using SMRLSTxx-rule list parameters.

To define parameters for functions

1. From the EZSRM Menu, select Functions.

   The ADFUNC view is displayed. ADFUNC lists the status and information for all functions that are defined in the system.

2. Use any of the following action codes in the CMD column next to a specific function name to further define the function:

   Action code	Used to
   A	Activate the function
   BF	Browse the filter list
   BR	Browse the rule list
   C	Change the filter or rule list suffix, or the message or SMF level
   DF	Display the filter list in core storage
   DR	Display the rule list in core storage
   EF	Edit the filter list
   ER	Edit the rule list
   I	Deactivate the function
   R	Refresh both the filter and rule list
   DR	Display the rule list in core storage
   RF	Refresh the filter list
   RR	Refresh the rule list
   /F	Display the contents of storage for the FLST
   /R	Display the contents of storage for the RLST

3. Use the refresh action codes as needed to update the function, and then press Enter.
4. Press PF3 to save and exit the function.

For more information

Functions and the filter lists and rule lists that are available to them vary by MainView SRM component. For information about the function parameters, see the Reference, or see the documentation for the relevant component.
