Hardware Event API Rules

CA OPS/MVS Hardware Services (HWS) interfaces with the Hardware Interface Service to deliver hardware event notifications and their associated data as OPS API events. You can write )API rules that specify how CA OPS/MVS responds to API-generated hardware events. Every hardware API event ID begins with the prefix HWS. This allows you to write API rules for specific hardware events or a single rule for all events (example: )API HWS* )

For more information on Hardware Services, see Hardware Services in the CA OPS/MVSEvent Management and Automation Administration Guide.

Note: Generally, HWS hardware events should only be received and automated by one CA OPS/MVS in the hardware (HMC) network to avoid duplicate automation of events.
