Event Notification Facility › Control Options Sharing

Control Options Sharing

Multiple systems can share a single CAIENF control option member. The method uses the CAIENF IF and ENDIF options to specify groupings of different systems and control options.

The IF option lets you test whether a condition (in this case, a group of systems) is true or false.

• If the condition is true, the options following the IF statement are executed. Execution stops when an ENDIF option is encountered.
• If the condition is false, the options following the IF statement are purged and a message is sent to the console.

The next IF statement is tested, until the last ENDIF statement is reached.

Options that follow an IF statement can include the CAICCI protocol statement (PROTOCOL), System Symbolics such as SYSNAME, or other valid options.

Note: For more information about control options, see the Reference Guide.
