Establish NetView Autotasks

NetView requires an autotask for every console that it might receive a command from. When you issue a command through the ADDRESS OPER host environment in a rule, CA OPS/MVS usually uses the console ID of the master console. Therefore, you should at least establish an autotask for the z/OS master console. Doing this enables you to issue NetView commands from CA OPS/MVS rules, but not to retrieve the responses.

To establish an autotask for the master console, issue this NetView command:

AUTOTASK OPID=operator,CONSOLE=mstrconsole

operator

Specifies a NetView operator ID defined in the DSIOPF member of the NetView parameter data set.

mstrconsole

Specifies the name of your master console.
