Fields on the SSM Table Edit Panel

The following describes the fields on the SSM Table Edit primary panel:

Wait

The number of seconds to wait for a response from a remote system.

System

The name of the remote system, or an asterisk (*) to indicate the local system. To select a system name from a list of systems, enter a question mark (?) in this field.

SSM Table

The name of resource directory table of the System State Manager, which contains the names of the resource tables that System State Manager is currently monitoring. The value in this field is the same as the value of the STATETBL parameter.

SSM Mode

The global processing mode of the System State Manager for all monitored resources and tables. Values are ACTIVE, INACTIVE, and PASSIVE. The value in this field is the same as the value of the STATEMAN parameter.

SSM Version

The version of System State Manager that is currently assigned to the SSMVERSION parameter. Currently, 2 is the only support version of SSM.

RES Table

The name of the resource table that contains the resource names you want to edit. To display the Table Name Selection panel, enter a question mark (?) in this field.

RES Mode

If System State Manager is using the resource table, its mode is displayed.

RES TNG

If System State Manager is using the resource table and the TNGELIGIBLE column exists in the resource directory table, the value YES or NO is displayed.

Name

The name of the resource. Enter a question mark (?) to display the Resource Name Selection panel, from which you can select a resource. Use the ADD primary command to insert a new resource with the specified column data.

Mode

The processing mode of the resource. Values are ACTIVE, INACTIVE, NOPREREQ, and PASSIVE. If you are unfamiliar with these processing modes, see their descriptions in the User Guide.

Type

The TYPE column value.

Jobname

The JOBNAME column value.

TNG

The TNGNOTIFY column value (ALWAYS or NEVER).

Actmode

The processing mode of the resource or any value used for selecting alternate actions. The action mode is used as both a second resource-processing mode or as a user-designated mode value that can be used to select alternate System State Manager actions for the same state combinations, such as a hot or cold start for JES2.

Movmode

The SSM#MOVMOD column value. (Available only when SSMGA columns are present).

Schmode

The SCHEDMODE column value. (Available only when SSMGA columns are present).

Systems

Contains resource definition of SSMGA-related system values. (Available only when SSMGA columns are present).

Current

The CURRENT_STATE column value.

Desired

The DESIRED_STATE column value.

Chkpoint

The CHKPOINT_STATE column value.

IPL

The IPL_STATE column value.

Previous

The PREV_STATE column value. System State Manager uses this column to save the last mismatched state that was considered for action processing. This field cannot be modified.

Counter

The RESACT_COUNT column value. The SSMRETRY rule uses this value to record the number of times that the action process has been performed.

Process

The RESACT_DESC column value. The SSMRETRY rule uses this value to record the name of the action-limited process.

Timestamp

The RESACT_TIME column value. The SSMRETRY rule uses this value to record the date and time of the last action limit process event.

Edit Other

A point-and-shoot command field for issuing the EDCOL primary command to permit editing of resource columns not included on the primary edit panel.

Edit Actions

A point-and-shoot command field for issuing the EDACT primary command to display the Action Selection panel for the resource being edited.

Premode

The processing mode of the resource. Valid values are ACTIVE, PREREQ, SUBREQ, and INACTIVE. The prerequisite mode controls whether System State Manager performs full, partial, or no prerequisite checking for this resource.

Refmode

The processing mode of the resource. Valid values are ACTIVE, PREREQ, SUBREQ, and INACTIVE. The prerequisite reference mode controls whether this resource can be used as a prerequisite by other resources. Full, partial, or no prerequisite referencing can be specified. If you specify no prerequisite referencing, then System State Manager ignores the reference.

Prereq

The PREREQ column value in the form of resource names separated by commas.

Edit

A point-and-shoot command field that invokes the ISPF editor for editing the prereq column value. This is equivalent to issuing the EDPRE primary command.

Missing

The MISSING_PREREQ column value. System State Manager uses this value to record the prerequisites that are not in the proper state to enable action processing. This field cannot be modified.

SSMGA Alternate System and Group Lists

Contains editable fields representing current content of the Alternate System and Group list SSMGA columns. Use the SYSLST and SYSGRP line fields to update the alternate system list and group list.

Resource Text

This column is usually defined when the CA Network and Systems Management System Status Manager CA OPS/MVS Option product is installed and is part of the data displayed on the CA NSM workstation. This column usually contains a message that was inserted by a rule that tracks the state of resources.

Note: The fields of optional columns that do not exist in the table contain the value N/A and cannot be modified.
