How to activate the Automation Reporter


Activation of the Automation Reporter is accomplished through the MainView AutoOPERATOR application Dynamic Parameter Manager.

The Dynamic Parameter Manager (DPM) is a panel-driven application that allows you to view or modify parameters in BBPARM members from a BBI-TS session.

The BBPARM members currently supported by DPM are as follows:

BBPARM member name

Description

AAOEXPxx

MainView AutoOPERATOR EXEC-related parameters

AAOALSxx

MainView AutoOPERATOR ALERT thresholds

AAOARPxx

Automation Reporter-related parameters

AAOTSPxx

TapeSHARE for MainView AutoOPERATOR-related parameters.

The AAOARPxx member is the one that controls the Automation Reporter and it is where you specify information such as

  • Time interval at which the Automation Reporter is to record data about automation resources and activities

    Example

    You can specify that the Automation Reporter records data every 15 minutes or every 1440 minutes (once a day). If you specify 15 minutes, then every 15 minutes the Automation Reporter records the information for the resources and activities as they exist at the end of the interval.

  • Offload interval which determines how often the collected data is moved to a preallocated sequential data set

    Example

    You can specify that the offload interval is once an hour (minimum) or once a day (maximum) and the collected data will be written to a sequential data set you have preallocated.

  • Name of the preallocated sequential data set that the collected data is moved to

    You must preallocate a sequential data set and enter its name into DPM. At the offload interval, the collected data is written into this data set.

  • Disposition of the sequential data set

    You can specify whether the sequential data set you allocated is going to have a disposition of MOD or SHR.

  • MainView AutoOPERATOR ALERT queue name where Automation Reporter ALERTs are queued

    Any MainView AutoOPERATOR ALERTs generated by the Automation Reporter will be routed automatically to the ALERT queue name you specify here.

For more information about activating the Automation Reporter and specifying these parameters, refer to Starting-the-Automation-Reporter.

Note

For information about the other BBPARM members that the DPM allows you to edit, refer to the MainView AutoOPERATOR Customization Guide.
