The following table describes the additional keywords that are available from the panels shown in preceding panels.

Command Type

Field names

Description

EXEC

EXEC/Parms

Specify that an EXEC is scheduled as the final action.

The EXEC is scheduled to execute in the BBI-SS PAS address space. The number of EXECs and additional parameters is limited to 56 characters. If you specify multiple EXEC names, the EXEC can execute in any order, and does not necessarily execute in the order that you specified on the panel.

If you specify values in the Priority and Delay fields, these values apply to all of the specified EXECs.

Priority

Specify the priority assigned to the EXEC.

Valid values are normal (N), high (H), hot (T), first (F), Single (S), and Xsingle (X).

Delay

Note

The Delay keyword can be specified when you enter any valid action. For the BBI and IMS actions, the Delay keyword is the only additional keyword available.

Specify 1 to 99999 seconds to wait before the final action is taken (either schedule an EXECs or issue a commands).

When you use this keyword, all of the listed EXECs or commands are delayed, and the order in which they are executed is unpredictable.

If the BBI-SS PAS is stopped for any reason before BMC AMI Ops Automation can run the commands that are scheduled with a Delay, the delayed commands are not re-scheduled when the BBI-SS PAS restarts.

Daylight Saving Time considerations:

For more information about how changing the local MVS time affects specifying a delayed action, see Managing-daylight-saving-time-and-time-initiated-automation.

MVS

Console

Specify the name of a console that will issue the MVS commands; the console does not have to be active for the command to be issued.

CART

Command and Response Token (CART) field specifies a token for an MVS command issued by a Rule

IMP

Route

Specify the Operations Manager (OM) Clients (also referred to as IMS control regions) in the IMSplex where the commands are issued.

If the Route is not specified, the commands are sent to all IMS regions in the IMSPLEX that have registered with the IMS OM to process commands. You can specify up to seven OM client names.

CICS

Target

Specify the name of the target CICS where the commands are issued.

MQ

See Automating-IBM-MQ-events information about using additional keywords when issuing IBM MQ commands from a Rule.

NV

Jobname

(optional) Specify the jobname of the NetView address space where the commands are issued.

The default address space is the NetView address space that generated the event. For non-NetView events, the default is the jobname that is specified in the NETVIEW parameter of BBPARM member BBISSPxx.

TOM

(none)

There are no extra fields available for this command type.
