SSM Actions in Resource Table Columns

Elimination of System State Manager (SSM) Actions in Resource Table Columns

The ability to directly specify SSM actions in resource table columns instead of an action table will be eliminated in the next release of CA OPS/MVS. The facility can easily be replaced by defining a general or resource specific action for the same state combinations in an action table. Variable substitution of resource specific column data can further qualify generic actions such as start and stop commands. The SSM engine action processing algorithm will be modified not to search the resource column names for a resource state matching action column. Only the action table associated with a resource table will be searched for actions.

If you need assistance with making the necessary changes for this, please contact CA Technical Support.

Parameters Dropped

The following parameters will be removed in the next release:

• BYPASSINITEOM

  This parameter did prevent EOM rule processing for JES initiators but did not prevent the allocation of a process block. Prevention of process block depletion was the original intent of this parameter.

• OCMAXTIME

  This parameter controlled the maximum time a command console could be allocated for command response collection. The value specified could cause a conflict with specified or default CMDWAIT/WAIT operands of OPSCMD or Address OPER.

Variables Dropped

The following variable will be removed in the next release:

• SEC.OPAURQTY

  CA recommends that you discontinue using the security variable SEC.OPAURQTY. It will be removed in the next release of CA OPS/MVS.
