Overview of Service Actions

A Service Action identifies one or more services (utilities) that you want to generate. You can create, edit, and maintain Service Actions. To use Service Actions, select Service Actions from the DASD MANAGER PLUS Main Menu.

Service Action maintenance and generation involves the following tasks:

  • Creating an action
  • Specifying object information
  • Selecting the services
  • Selecting or specifying syntax options and parameters
  • (optional) creating a user-defined service
  • Generating the action and specifying processing options
  • Verifying successful execution or restarting the job

Important

You can run actions online as you need them. You can also set up actions to run at scheduled times to automate maintenance. For example, you can create an action that copies and reorganizes all table spaces in a database, and then run that job weekly by using a job scheduler.

You can also use action definitions to automate maintenance by using BMCTRIG. For more information, see Analyzing-objects-by-using-BMCTRIG.
