Specify an operation mode of AUTOMATED, IGNORED, MANUAL, OFF, or STARTAUTO. During operation, the global operation mode can restrict the mode specified in the Operation Mode field.
The operation modes have the following effects on a service:
Specifies that the region monitors and automates the control of the service.
When the desired state of the service is set to ACTIVE, the service places an ACTIVE desired state override on its members. The region then determines the actual state of the service from the actual states of the members.
When the desired state of the service is set to INACTIVE, the service removes the ACTIVE desired state overrides from its members. The service acquires an INACTIVE actual state immediately.
Specifies that the region monitors but relinquishes control of the service to the operators. A service in the IGNORED mode always appears green on your monitors.
When the desired state of the service is set to ACTIVE, the service does not place the ACTIVE desired state overrides on its members. The overrides occur only when an operator starts the service manually by using the A(ctivate) command.
Similarly, setting the desired state of the service to INACTIVE does not affect the members. The members are affected only when an operator stops the service manually by using the T(erminate) command.
Specifies that the region does not monitor or control the service. The definition remains in the knowledge base, but the service does not appear on your monitors.
Specifies that the region starts the service in the AUTOMATED mode. As the service achieves its desired state, the region switches the service to MANUAL mode.
You can use an availability map to define the changes to the normal availability of the service.
In a multisystem environment, you specify a system as the service automation focal point system and the scheduled times refer to the local times on that system. If the map schedules the starting of processes, the processes are started in the region on that system only.
To attach an existing map, enter the name of the map in the Availability Map field. Press F10 (Edit Map) to update the timer details.
Leave the Availability Map field blank if you want to use the default desired state, which can be either ACTIVE or INACTIVE (as set in the AUTOIDS parameter group during region initialization).
The availability of a service overrides the availability of its members. If the service is always a member of another service, let the other service handle the availability of this service. Define the desired state of the service to be always inactive.
Note: You can create a new map from the service definition. You can name a new map and define it, or access an existing map, change the name, and update the copy. The map is created in the knowledge base when you save the definition.
