Customizing CA Automation Point Files to Install AS/400 Manager When Connecting to Multiple Stand-alone Systems

To insert configuration information for AS/400 Manager into your CA Automation Point files

  1. Create backup copies of all your CA Automation Point files.
  2. Customize the CA Automation Point rules file by doing the following:
    1. Edit the sample file AS400ADG.rul in the CA Automation Point Distrib directory. Change all occurrences of AS400GET to the alerts session name used for this system (for example, SYS2GET).
    2. Change all occurrences of the suffix _1 to _2.
    3. Copy the new contents of AS400ADG.rul into your active rules file.
    4. Edit the sample file AS400ADA.rul in the CA Automation Point Distrib directory. Change all occurrences of AS400AUT to the automation session name used for this system (for example, SYS2AUT).
    5. Change all occurrences of the suffix _1 to _2.
    6. Copy the new contents of AS400ADA.rul into your active rules file.
  3. Update your Active Session Definition Set by creating three non-automated TN5250/TN3270 sessions.
    1. Name the alert session, the automation session, and the manual session to the corresponding alert, automation, and manual session names used for this system (for example, SYS2GET, SYS2AUT, and SYS2MAN respectively).
    2. Set the system name to the actual name of your system for each session created previously.
    3. Choose an appropriate terminal type for each session. If you are unsure, choose 5292 or 3278_2, which are the defaults for TN5250 and TN3270, respectively.
    4. Choose the "AS400" menu for each session.
  4. Create and customize a sign-on/recovery script for the system's alert session by doing the following:
    1. Copy AS400GET.scr to a new file that will be used for the system's alert session (for example, SYS2GET.scr).
    2. On the KEY statement that contains the sign-on user ID and password, specify the correct user ID and password for the AS/400 system.
    3. Save this file in the CA Automation Point/Site/Myfiles folder.
  5. Create and customize a sign-on/recovery script for the system's automation session by doing the following:
    1. Copy AS400AUT.scr to a new file that will be used for the system's automation session (for example, SYS2AUT.scr).
    2. On the KEY statement that contains the signon user ID and password, specify the correct user ID and password for the AS/400 system.
    3. Save this file in the CA Automation Point/Site/Myfiles folder.
