The following table describes the fields on the EXEC Parameters 2 panel: 

Field name

Description

EMLOG

specifies whether the windows-mode EMLOG view is available for viewing, sorting and filtering EXEC messages

Valid values are YES or NO. The default is NO.

In the EMLOG view, you can select to view (filter) all the messages from a specific EXEC. This filtering ability is not supported in the MVLOG view.

For more information about the windows-mode EMLOG view, see Using-BMC-AMI-Ops-Automation-basic-applications.

EXHMC

specifies whether you can use the IMFEXEC HMC command in EXECs

Valid values are YES or NO. The default is NO.

Warning

The IMFEXEC HMC command allows EXECs to issue queries and commands to IBM mainframe hardware. IMFEXEC HMC provides capabilities that are similar to those allowed in the Hardware Management Console (HMC) and mainframe Support Element.

Using IMFEXEC HMC can alter your IBM machine, which might result in outages or incur unexpected financial costs. For example, using the IMFEXEC HFC command and its parameters can increase the machine's capacity, which might increase costs.

BMC recommends that only users who have proficiency in operating the IBM System z Support Elements and Hardware Management Console (HMC) should use the IMFEXEC HMC command. You should also already be familiar with HMC and System z terminology and properties.

In addition, the user control and confirmation features available on the actual HMC do not apply when using the IMFEXEC HMC command in an EXEC issued from BMC AMI Ops Automation. For example you can configure the HMC to require a user to enter a password before performing an IPL (issuing a Load command) of the system. With the IMFEXEC HMC command, the Load command executes without requiring any confirmation.

AUDITRES

specifies whether BBI Journal message EM0715I is written to the log when an EXEC issues IMFEXEC RES

Use the message to help identify which of your automation EXECs use the IMFEXEC RES command. This information can be especially helpful when the BMC AMI Ops SYSPROG Services product releases new versions that introduce changes to SYSPROG commands, or services that might impact your automation.

MSGID

updates the TSO user profile BMC AMI OpsA uses to turn on (and off) the TSO MSGID option

Use this parameter to specify whether should alter the TSO profile MSGID setting where:

  • Y (YES): sets a PROFILE MSGID in the TSO user profile
  • N (NO): sets a PROFILE NOMSGID in the TSO user profile
  • I (IGNORE): specifies that the EXEC Manager will bypass any setting of the user profile

The default is Yes.
