    COMMAND ===>                                                                   
                                                                                   
     (If D the Default Measurement Duration is used for all Dynamic Alerts)        
    End of Step Alert Generation     : Y          enter Y or N                     
       (If Dynamic Alert set to Yes, only non-alerted steps considered)

    Max Threshold Alert Generation   : Y          enter Y, C or N                  
       (If C conditional only generate Max Threshold alert if in measurement scope)
                                                                                   
    Min Threshold Alert Generation   : Y          enter Y, A or N                  
       (If A all min values must be exceeded before a job is eligible for runaway)

    SMF Recording by Server          : S          enter Y, S or N                  
       (If S recording to the KSDSJOB file is indirect, via a Spooling Interface)  
                                                                                   
               Cancel: CAN    Save  : END OR PF3                                   
   

3. Start the spool interface started task, APCSASIP.

   When the Server option for SMF recording is set to Spool (as shown previously), it is necessary to start the spool interface started task, APCSASIP, in addition to the Server started task.
