Fields on the AOF CTRL Entry Panel

The following fields appear on the AOF CTRL Entry panel:

Rule Set

Specify the name of an individual rule set, or either specify an asterisk (*) or leave the field blank to view a list of rule sets.

For a description of the series of panels you see if you request a list of rule sets and explains how to use them, as well as instructions on working with an individual rule set, see How to Use the AOF CTRL Rule List Panel in this chapter.

Note: The partitioned data sets that contain AOF rules have this form: ruleprefix.rulesetname.rulesuffix. You use the RULEPREFIX and RULESUFFIX parameters to specify values for ruleprefix and rulesuffix. The only way to modify these values is to use the OPSPARM command at CA OPS/MVS initialization. CA OPS/MVS searches the z/OS catalog and finds all of the data sets whose names begin with ruleprefix and end with rulesuffix. The rules in these data sets are the ones the AOF uses. In the panel shown above, the rule prefix is OPS and the rule suffix is RULES.

Stats

Use this field to indicate whether you want CA OPS/MVS to suppress cumulative statistics about the rule set or rule sets. Specify Y to include statistics in the rule set list, specify N to suppress them. Specifying N results in faster display of the rule set list.

System

Use the System field to indicate whether you want to access rule sets on the local system or on a remote system. To access rule sets on a remote system, specify the name of a remote, MSF-defined system in the System field. If you do not know the names of the MSF-defined systems, you can enter a question mark (?) to display a list of them. Specify an asterisk (*) when you want to access rule sets on the local system.

Wait

The maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a response from another system (when a remote system is specified)
