Why use MainView AutoOPERATOR EXECs
The initial phase of implementing automation at most sites includes tasks such as message suppression or message rewording.
You can simply automate these tasks by creating Rules with the MainView AutoOPERATOR Rules Processor applications. Refer to the chapters about Rules in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Basic Automation Guide, Volume 1: Using Rules for more information.
As automation becomes more complex, you may find that you need more tools that are provided by a programming language. MainView AutoOPERATOR EXECs provide an extensive programming language that comes in two formats: IBM REXX and IBM TSO CLIST. Although MainView AutoOPERATOR has expanded the scope of automation through Rules, you may find that some automation tasks require the use of MainView AutoOPERATOR EXECs.
With MainView AutoOPERATOR EXECs and other facilities such as the Rules Processor applications and the ALERT Management Facility, almost every automation related problem can be solved. Information about the Rule Processor applications and the ALERT Management Facility can be found in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Basic Automation Guide, Volume 1: Using Rules.
