AUTOCATA command



Related topic

The AUTOCATA command is used to initiate solutions against alias statistics that were gathered by Catalog Scan (CSCAN).

AUTOCATA processes the aliases that are associated with the specified aliases or alias mask(s). These aliases, or a subset of these aliases, compose the result group that is manipulated by the SET keywords of AUTOCATA RLST. Collection of the alias statistics must have previously occurred through the execution of Catalog Scan (CSCAN).

The following example show how to use AUTOCATA keywords:

 /-SVOS AUTOCATA,ALIAS=(USER/),SOLUTION=DSCNT

The following table describes valid keywords for the AUTOCATA command.

Keyword

Description

ALIAS=(alias,alias,…)

Lists the aliases to interrogate

SOL=(solution,solution,…)

Specifies names of one or more solution separated by commas or one or more variable names defined in the SMVARS member (optional). You can specify as many solution names as will fit on the command line. Any value, up to 8 characters, can be specified. Each volume in the pool is run against each solution in the list, regardless of the outcome of each individual solution. The order of the solutions does not matter.

This value is used in the SOLUTION parameter on the SET statement in the AUTO function RLST member. This value associates the request with a particular SET statement in the AUTOCATA RLST member.

If this keyword is not specified, each resource in the request is checked against all RLST SET statements and the first match is processed. You cannot edit this command input field. BMC Software recommends specifying a solution value for every request. This solution value should match a value specified in an AUTOCATA RLST SET statement.
