OPSVIEW Options General Settings Fields

The OPSVIEW General Settings panel has the following fields:

OPSCMD Max Lines

Specifies the maximum number of lines of z/OS or JES command output that CA OPS/MVS accepts before it returns control to the user. If you need to enter a command that generates a large amount of output, it is best to issue the command through the OPSCMD command with the NOOUTPUT option, and then to view the response in OPSLOG Browse.

OPSCMD Wait Time

Indicates the maximum number of seconds CA OPS/MVS waits for output from a z/OS or JES command before CA OPS/MVS returns control to the user. Blank, which is the recommended value, means OPSCMD uses its default heuristic algorithm.

OPSCMD Echo

Indicates whether CA OPS/MVS echoes z/OS and JES commands to the terminal.

OPSCMD Subsystem

Indicates the four-character name of the CA OPS/MVS subsystem to which OPSCMD commands are routed. Typically you have only one copy of CA OPS/MVS, and its name is OPSS.

Action Verification

Indicates whether CA OPS/MVS performs potentially damaging operations immediately or requests confirmation. Set the field to Y if you want CA OPS/MVS to request confirmation; set it to N if you want CA OPS/MVS to act without confirmation.

Note: The setting for this field affects all line-command OPSVIEW options.

AOF Test Action Ver

Indicates whether CA OPS/MVS performs potentially damaging operations in AOF Test immediately or requests confirmation. Set the field to Y if you want OPSVIEW to request confirmation; set it to N if you want OPSVIEW to act without confirmation.

Note: The setting for this field affects OPSVIEW option 2.1.

Max Test Globals

Indicates the maximum number of standard global variables that the AOF test environment can use. Setting this value is equivalent to setting the GLOBALMAX parameter for the main CA OPS/MVS address space. If you do not set the value here, CA OPS/MVS uses the GLOBALMAX default value, which is 5000.

Max Test Temp GLVs

Indicates the maximum number of temporary global variables that the AOF test environment can use. Setting this value is equivalent to setting the GLOBALTEMPMAX parameter for the main CA OPS/MVS address space. If you do not set the value here, CA OPS/MVS uses the default value of the GLOBALTEMPMAX parameter.

AOF Alloc Subsys

Indicates the four-character name of the subsystem that manages allocation of and input/output processes for AOF rule data sets. This field is usually blank for standard z/OS allocation and input/output. If you use the CA Librarian product and you want it to manage all AOF data sets, use this field to specify the name of the CA Librarian subsystem (usually LAM).

Note: If you use CA Librarian, you cannot use the CA OPS/MVS auto-enable option for AOF rules.

WARNING! If your AOF Test rule sets are in standard z/OS PDS or PDSE data sets, this field must be left blank. If this field is not left blank, attempting to use the AOF Test facility results in dynamic allocation errors (error code x'035C' and information code x'005F').

AOF REXX WorkSpace

Indicates the size of the AOF REXX workspace. The default is 1.5 megabytes. Generally, you should not need to change the value of this field unless instructed to do so by a CA Customer Support representative.

SSM Monitor Display

Indicates the default viewing mode for SSM and SSMGA resource monitors 4.11.2 and 4.11.G respectively. The possible values are:

B

Browse prohibits all type over changes

V

View allows type over changes with verification

E

Unrestricted type over changes.

All modes allow resource changes using line commands. The viewing mode can be changed dynamically on the monitor panel as required and is not intended as a user security control parameter.

Note: CA OPS/MVS r12.2 adds the SSMMONDISP parameter.

SSM Verify Mode

Specifies whether operations in the SSM Resource Status panel (4.11.2) will require verification. The possible values are:

A

Specifies that verification is required for all of the following line commands: S, Z, C, U, W, Q, R

M

Specifies that verification is required for the following multi-resource commands: W, Q, R

N

Specifies that no confirmation is required.

Note: For maximum security we recommend that you set SSM Verify Mode to A and SSM Monitor Display to B. For no confirmation, set SSM Verify Mode to N and SSM Monitor Display to E.

Clear OPSLOG profile

Indicates whether OPSLOG Browse will start with a clear browsing profile.
