Creating CSM start and stop Rules for the TCPIP object


If you have modified BBPARM member AAOPRMxx and specified MSGJOBNM=ACTUAL, then to create start and stop Rules for the TCPIP object, complete the following steps.

If you have specified MSGJOBNM=ORIGIN  or use the default setting, these steps do not apply.

The CSM-generated start and stop Rules are created for TCPIP, but do not fire because these Rules have an IMFOJOB variable value equal to TCPIP as selection criteria and the IMFOJOB variable value for TCPIP is equal to CONSOLE.

The TCPIP object might be started and UP, but the actual state is never recognized by CSM as UP.

To define the TCPIP object in CSM and create its start and stop Rules

  1. On the Add NEW Object panel for APPC, specify NO in the Generate the Rules field.
  2. Build a start Rule by specifying EZB6473I on the Text Id field of the Selection Criteria panel.
  3. On the Variable Dependencies panel, specify !CSM.ACTIVEFLAG EQ YES.
  4. On the Automation Specification panel, specify YES for the Display at dest. field, and specify CSMUP CSMUP TCPIP on the EXEC Name/Parms field.
  5. Ensure sure that the Rule resides in a Rule Set other than AAORULCM and AAORULBC.
  6. Build a stop Rule by specifying IEF404I on the Text Id field of the Selection Criteria panel.
  7. On the Variable Dependencies panel, specify !CSM.ACTIVEFLAG EQ YES.
  8. On the Automation Specification panel, specify YES for the Display at dest. field, and specify CSMDOWN CSMDOWN TCPIP on the EXEC Name/Parms field.
  9. Ensure that the Rule resides in a Rule Set other than AAORULCM and AAORULBC.Note that, any time you create a Start Rule and Stop Rule, you must not attempt to add them to Rule Sets AAORULCM and AAORULBC. The Rules can be added to any other Rule Set.
