Rules Processing

Rules are loaded when CA Automation Point starts. Rules are then compiled for optimal runtime performance and checked for syntax errors. You can:

• Define rules for specific sessions.
• Write a rule or REXX program to reload rules dynamically without stopping and restarting CA Automation Point or disrupting monitoring activity. Loading an alternate set of rules from a different rules file may be useful as your workload changes from shift to shift.

For each automated session, CA Automation Point starts a rules processor to monitor the message stream for that session. Multiple, automated sessions are monitored concurrently by multiple rules processors. Each rules processor monitors the events defined in a common rules file.
