Step 5: Add STCTBL and STCTBL_ACT Tables to the Directory Table

The Stateman Controls panel lets you add your tables to the control of the SSM directory table.

To add your STCTBL and STCTBL_ACT tables to the SSM directory table

  1. Choose option 1 from the Stateman Controls panel (=4.11).

    The following panel displays:

    SSM Control--------------- XE44 -- O P S V I E W ------------- Row 1 to 2 of 2
 Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR

  Parameters:  Stateman ===> ACTIVE          (Active/Passive/Inactive/Noprereq)
               Statetbl ===> SSM_MANAGED_TBLS                                  
                Version ===> 2                                                 
                                                       State Names

     ZSMQAT1             A   ZSMQAT_ACT         UP       DOWN     UNKNOWN   Y

 ******************************* Bottom of data *******************************

    This panel displays the current operating mode that SSM is using, the name of the directory table (SSM_MANAGED_TBLS is the default), and a control section.

  2. In the control section, add your tables to the control of the SSM.
  3. Change data on this panel by tabbing to the Stateman field, type PASSIVE and press Enter.

    This places SSM in PASSIVE mode.

  4. Tab to the following fields and type the data shown above in Add Table.
  5. After you have placed entries in all fields, press Enter.

This step is complete when the STCTBL_ACT and STCTBL tables are defined in the directory table of the SSM, SSM is in PASSIVE mode, and the current state and desired state match for each system resource defined in the STCTBL table.

You can view and change the states using OPSVIEW option 4.11.2.
