Execution Considerations for TOD Rules

The processing section of a TOD rule executes in the CA OPS/MVS main address space. Therefore, various OPS/REXX host environments that can cause waits to occur, such as issuing z/OS commands through the ADDRESS OPER and collecting the command output, can possibly suspend the main address space. The simple rule of thumb to follow is to keep the logic simple in a TOD rule, and any complex logic or interactive logic that may cause a wait to occur should be done in an OPS/REXX program that gets triggered to an OSF TSO server on behalf of the TOD rule.

The AOF execution limits apply to the processing section of a rule that responds to a security event.
