OPSVIEW Editors Option › How to Maintain the AOF Test Compiled Rules Library (Option 2.2) › The Specification Display Panel

The Specification Display Panel

When you access option 2.2, you see a display similar to the following one:

AOF TEST - Entry panel --- MSI1 --- OPSVIEW -------------------Subsystem OPSS
COMMAND ===>
 The RULESET(s) specified below will be used as the input library
 for the COMPILE command.
   PREFIX  ===>
   RULESET ===>                 (* for all Rule sets)
   SUFFIX  ===>
-------------------- AOF TEST COMPILED RULES LIBRARY ------------------------
(Blank fields mean NO AOF COMPILE LIBRARY is currently allocated.)
AOF Test Compiled Rules Library:
   PROJECT ===>
   GROUP   ===>
   TYPE    ===>
Other partitioned Data Set:
   DATA SET NAME  ===>

Press ENTER to process or END to cancel.

The AOF Specification Display panel that appears when you access OPSVIEW option 2.2 is actually made up of two distinct halves.

In the top half of the panel, you either specify the name of a rule set to display, or use an asterisk to indicate that you want to display a list of rule sets. The AOF uses the specified rule set or rule sets as the input library for the COMPILE command.

Use the bottom half of the panel to define the output data set for all compiled rules activity.

Note: Compiled rules activity includes such things as listing compiled rules, compiling rules into the compiled rules data set, and deleting rules from the compiled rules data set.

The compiled rules output data set must exist before you try to compile any rules. If you want to take advantage of the SET AUTOENABLE command, you must define the data set to AOFEXEC ddname.

Note: Data definition concatenation is not honored under AOFEXEC ddname.

The compiled rules output data set must be a partitioned data set with these attributes:

After you have specified values for all of the fields on the AOF Specification Display panel, the AOF compares the specified input library to the specified compiled rules output library. It does this to determine whether any of the rules in the input library have been compiled through OPSVIEW option 2.1. If they have, a selection list appears. If no rules have been compiled yet for the rule set or rule sets you specify, no selection list appears.
