Defining BBI-SS PAS interval services parameters


Use the following procedure to specify parameters that initialize timer services automatically at BBI-SS PAS startup and identify the trace directory data set.

Tip

This task is optional for the following products and does not apply to other products:

  • BMC AMI Ops Automation
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for MQ

 Use member BBIISPxx to set up timer services and the trace directory.

To define BBI-SS PAS interval services parameters

  1. In member BBIISPxx, specify the name of a BBPARM member that defines the group of timer-driven services that are to be started at BBI-SS PAS startup:AUTOID=userid

    TARGET=tgtname,BLK=blkName[,USRID=userid][,ALERTQ=qname]


    AUTOID

    TARGET Specify the logon ID of a user that is to be associated with automatically started timer requests. AUTOID is the default if USERID is not specified. AUTOID must be on a separate line from TARGET and BLK, as in the following example:

    AUTOID=ADMIN
    TARGET=DB2A,BLK=BLKDB2A
    TARGET=DB2B,BLK=BLKDB2B

    TARGET

    Specify the target system that is to receive the requests for BLK. It can be the target system ID or the subsystem ID. TARGET must be on the same line as BLK and can be repeated.

    BLK

    Specify the one- to eight-character name of a BBPARM member that defines a collection of timer-driven SET requests for product services that can be initiated at the same time. BLK must be on the same line as TARGET and can be repeated.

    The BBPARM members are as follows:

    BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS

    CMRBLK1

    Contains a group of background service requests that are used when BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS data collection is not active

    CMRBLK2

    Contains a group of background service requests that are used when BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS data collection is active

    CMRBLK3

    Contains a group of background service requests that are used when BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS data collection is active

    BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2

    BLKDMRW

    Can be used to create a starter set of monitors and traces to provide recent Db2 history

    BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL

    BLKDBTW

    Can be used to create a starter set of monitors for a DBCTL system

    BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online

    BLKIMFW

    Can be used to create a starter set of monitors for IMS


    Important

    You can use the BLKxxxx members as a base from which to build a list of monitors to be started automatically. These members define suggested warning thresholds; some show only your site's activity.

    USRID

    (Optional) Specify the logon ID of a user that is to be associated with the timer requests in the member specified by the BLK parameter. This user has the authority to modify or purge the timer requests.

    The value for userid must match a BBPARM user authorization member (see BBPARM member USERID).

    USRID is optional and is written on the same line as TARGET and BLK. It supersedes AUTOID and associates the specified user with the group of requests defined for that BLK parameter, as in the following example:

    TARGET=DB2A,BLK=BLKDB2A,USRID=$TDB2AR

    If USRID is not specified, the default is AUTOID. If AUTOID and USRID are not specified, a default user ID of USERID is used. A USERID member must exist in the BBPARM data set.

    ALERTQ

    (Optional) Specify an alert queue name for CICS, Db2, IMS, or DBCTL targets. This parameter activates automatic creation of alerts for monitor exception messages, including background exception messages in BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2. The alerts are displayed in the Alert Manager views.

    Important

    If these exception messages are already being processed into alerts by BMC AMI Ops Automation rules for journal messages, the ALERTQ parameter is not needed. Specifying ALERTQ could result in duplicate alerts.

  2. Identify the name of the data set that will be used as a trace directory by the following products:

    • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS
    • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
    • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL
    • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online

    Important

    This data set cannot be shared by multiple BBI-SS PASs.

    Specify the data set name of the trace directory as :

    TRDIR=dsn[,SUBSYS=ssid]

    • dsn is a valid data set name.
    • ssid (optional) is the subsystem name to which this trace directory applies.

      This parameter allows multiple BBI-SS PASs to share the same BBIISPxx member.

    Trace logging can be set up automatically by using the configuration procedures that are described in Installation System. Your product customization guide describes how to set up and maintain trace logging manually.
