OPSVIEW Control Option › How to Generate a Relational Table of Started Tasks (Option 4.11.3) › Fields on the System State Manager Snapshot Facility Panel

Fields on the System State Manager Snapshot Facility Panel

The fields on the System State Manager Snapshot Facility panel are as follows:

Rules DSN

The full name of the data set containing the SNAPRUL1 and SNAPRUL2 rules. The data set does not have to be a valid rules data set for the active CA OPS/MVS on the system. The rules are read from the specified PDS and installed using the *DYNAMIC rule set.

The SNAPRUL1 and SNAPRUL2 rules are provided in the OPS.CCLXRULM data set.

SYSPARM

The suffix list of IEASYSxx members of the system parmlib used to IPL the system. The IEASYSxx members locate other members that are relevant to system task initialization.

Use the OPSIPL REXX function to obtain the suffix, which is not modifiable.

User DSN

The full name of the data set that contains user-supplied started task data. Snapshot uses the data to determine the type of a started task to specify start and stop commands, and to override some Snapshot actions.

This field is optional. If you specify the name of a data set in this field, entries (identified by the TYPE parameter) in this data set override matching entries in the data set supplied by CA. See CA DSN below.

CA DSN

The full name of the data set that contains started task data supplied by CA. Snapshot uses the data to determine the type of a started task to specify start and stop commands, and to override some Snapshot actions.

The OPS.CCLXCNTL(SNAPDATA) member is on the CA OPS/MVS distribution media.

This field is required. Since the data in the OPS.CCLXCNTL(SNAPDATA) member is maintained by CA, do not modify it. Instead, you may copy any entries you want to modify into the User DSN (described above) and make the modifications there.

Mode

The mode in which you want Snapshot to execute. Values are:

• ADD-Adds started task data to an existing relational table without modifying any entries in the table.
• If the table you specify in the Table Name field does not exist, the Snapshot utility creates a new table and places all of the started task data it finds into the new table.
• REFRESH-Clears and rebuilds an existing relational table. (This is the same process that occurs when you specify a value of ADD, and the table in the Table Name field does not exist.)
• UPDATE-Modifies existing data in the table but does not add any new started tasks to the table.

SSM version

Specifies the SSM version to define required columns to. Currently, 2 is the only supported SSM version.

Table Name

The name of the relational table that is to contain the started task control data.

SSMO Cols

Specifies whether the required columns for the CA Network and Systems Management System Status Manager CA OPS/MVS Option product should be included when a new SSM resource table is created.
