Example 1: creating a Rule where MLWTO minor = ALL

When all of search criteria and variable dependency criteria is met, this example Rule creates an ALERT with the appropriate message.

The MLWTO message is shown  here:

To create a Rule where MLWTO minor = ALL

1. Fill in the Selection Criteria - MSG panel as follows:

   BMC Software ----------- Selection Criteria - MSG  ----------- BMC AMI OpsA
   COMMAND ===>                                                 TGT  --- AOAO     
   
          Rule-set === RUL01                          Rule-id  === ABNDPROD
   
   Text Description:
   Text ID     ===> IEE995I                          Ignore leading plus:        
   Text String (Enter Below):
   
   
   Issuer Identification:
   Job name    ===> PROD                              Name of issuer
   Type        ===>                                   (JOB, STC, or TSO)
   Jobclass    ===>                                   Job class of issuer
   Acct Info   ===>                                   Job accounting information
   RACF User   ===>                                   RACF Userid
   RACF Group  ===>                                   RACF Group name
   Route Codes ===>
   Desc Codes  ===>
   Console Name ==>                                   Destination Console Name
   MLWTO Minor ===> ALL                               Single/All
   Press ENTER to continue, END return to Detail Control, CANCEL to cancel changes

   When MLWTO Minor ===> ALL is specified, all the lines of multiline WTO message are processed by the Rule as a single entity. BMC Software recommends that you use the variables &LINEx_WORDn variables on the Variable Dependencies panel so that the Rule can fire based on specific content of the MLWTO.

   Important

   When creating a Rule for a MLWTO message, the Rule compares the selection criteria values to the content of only the first line (Major line) of the MLWTO.

   With the &LINEx_WORDn, x is set for every line of the MLWTO and n is set for every word in a line.
   
   

2. Press Enter the Variable Dependencies - MSG panel is displayed as shown in the following figure.

   
   

   BMC Software ------------ Variable Dependencies - MSG ---------- BMC AMI OpsA
   COMMAND ===> TGT --- AOAO
   Rule-set === RUL01 Rule-id === ABNDPROD
   OR/

   COMMAND ===>                                                       TGT --- AOAO
           Rule-set === RUL01                      Rule-id === DA010
   Function ===> ADD (ADD, DELETE, DELETEQ)

   Press ENTER to continue, END return to Detail Control, CANCEL to cancel change
4. Press Enter and finish completing the Rule.
   
   In addition, when you specify MLWTO Minor = ALL, the Rule cannot take the action of suppressing the message or preventing it from being recorded in the CONSOLE or the MVS SYSLOG.
   
   To perform both automation and suppress the WTO, you can create another Rule for the WTO but create it the same as any other single line WTO, and do not specify any values in "MLWTO Minor" field. Then, ensure this Rule follows the Rule performing the automation actions and also ensure that Rule Set strategy is ALL.
