Load the System Image and File Transfer Rule Set

The system image and file transfer rule set that you have defined must be loaded into your CA NetMaster FTM region before you can monitor your file transfer service.

Note: You can load a rule set independently of the system image.

To load the system image and the rule set

1. Enter /PARMS at the command prompt.

   The Customizer : Parameter Groups panel appears.

   Note: You must have the required authority to access the panel. Ask your system administrator to give you the required access authority or perform this task for you.

2. Enter F AUTOIDS to find the AUTOIDS parameter group, and then enter U beside it.

   The Initialization Parameters panel for the parameter group appears.

3. Complete the following fields:
   • System Image Name

     Specifies the name of the defined system image.

   • Automation Mode

     Specifies the global operation mode. Set this field to MANUAL.

     Note: Setting the mode to MANUAL ensures that all resources operate in the MANUAL mode. This lets you familiarize yourself with the product before automating the management of your file transfer service.

   • Perform Action in Manual Mode?

     Specifies how actions are performed. Enter YES in the field.

   • Active Ruleset for File Transfer

     Specifies the name of the file transfer rule set. If no rule set is specified, no rules are triggered.

4. Press F6 (Action).

   The parameter group is actioned. The system image and the file transfer rule set are loaded, and a message indicates that the $RM AUTOIDS parameter group is set.

   Note: A loaded image or rule set appears with highlight on the System Image List or the File Transfer Ruleset List panel. You can use these lists to determine which image or rule set is loaded.

5. Press F3 (File).

   The changes are filed.

   When the CA NetMaster FTM region is next started, the specified system image and file transfer rule set are automatically loaded.

You have now loaded your system image and are ready to check the environment you built to ensure that it manages the file transfer service as required.

Note: After you have loaded an image, you can define additional resources to it, and the defined resources are available to the region immediately. Similarly, you can add rules to a loaded file transfer rule set and the rules are available to the region immediately.
