Definition of AOF Rule Status

This section explains the AOF rule control terminology.

ENABLE

You must enable a rule so CA OPS/MVS can react to the event that you specified. A rule responds to a system event only if it is enabled.

DISABLE

A disabled rule is an inactive rule. CA OPS/MVS does not respond to the specified system event.

AUTOENABLE

An auto-enabled rule is automatically enabled when CA OPS/MVS initializes through either a system IPL or a restarting of the product. A reserved area in the ISPF directory entry is internally set when a rule is auto-enabled. ISPF statistics must be turned on to auto-enable a rule.

RESET AUTOENABLE

The reset auto-enable operation turns off the auto-enable flag, which means CA OPS/MVS does not enable the rule when it initializes through either a system IPL or a restart.

COMPILE

A compiled rule is a rule whose compiled version is saved in a predefined data set. Compiled rules expedite the enabling of auto-enabled rules during CA OPS/MVS initialization. For details on setting up the required AOFPRECOMPILED parameters and creating the pre-compiled AOF data set, see the Parameter Reference.

Note: Using AOF precompiled rules is optional. The volume of auto-enabled rules you have determines whether you need to use AOF precompiled rules.

DELCOMP

Deleting a compiled rule deletes the compiled versions from the AOF pre-compiled data set. For details on setting up the required AOF PRECOMPILED parameters and creating the pre-compiled AOF data set, see the Parameter Reference.
