AOFINITREXX Parameter

This parameter specifies the name of an OPS/REXX program that you have written to set up your AOF environment. Creating such a program allows you to logically control your AOF environment, including controlling the sequence in which AOF rules are enabled.

The program you specify as the value of AOFINITREXX must be in a PDS library that is allocated to the OPSMAIN STC JCL under the SYSEXEC ddname.

For the AOFINITREXX parameter to take effect, the value of the AOFACTIVE parameter must be ON. For details, see the AOFACTIVE Parameter in this chapter.

Note: Using the ADDRESS AOF ENABLE command in the AOFINITREXX program to enable individual rules is slower than using the AUTOENABLE process, which processes an entire rule set at a time.

REXX execs specified in AOFINITREXX and AOFACTIVEREXX will execute in the OPSMAIN address space. They cannot execute any Address OSF or TSO commands at AOF initialization time since the TMPs are not yet active.

For details about tailoring CA OPS/MVS startup procedures, see the Administration Guide.
