Specify Actions to Be Taken When a Rule Executes

Use the Take Action menu to specify the actions that you want to occur when the rule executes and all criteria are satisfied. A unique Take Action menu exists for each rule type. The following sample panel shows the Take Action menu for message rules.

Note: If you select the EasyRule automatic step-through feature, you bypass the Take Action menu (and all other EasyRule menus).

EasyRule ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Option ===> M E S S A G E R U L E -- T A K E A C T I O N The actions you specify via these panels will be taken for all messages that have the Message ID you specified and pass any additional tests you supplied via the "Additional Criteria" panels. 1 Suppress G Update Global variables 2 Message deletion L Update Local or Global variables 3 Re-route to other consoles M Issue z/OS messages 4 Re-word the Message N Send a NetMaster Alert 5 Hilite/Color/Change DESC codes O Issue Operator commands 6 Reply (WTORs only) P Page support people 7 Send to another system (MSF) Q Perform SQL update or insert 8 Throttle Message display rate S Send messages to TSO users 9 Update Environmental variables U Issue UNIX commands X Run REXX/CLIST program in Server Press ENTER to step thru EasyRule, or END to return

Although the total number of options on the menus differs among rule types, the format of the menus is the same. The column on the left of each Take Action Menu lists actions that are unique to the type of rule you are creating. The column on the right lists actions that are common to all rule types.

To choose an option from a Take Action menu

  1. From the Message Rule Main Menu, choose option 4 Actions.

    The Message Rule Take Action menu displays.

  2. When you complete the resulting panel, press PF3.

    You are returned to the Take Action menu.

You can repeat this procedure to choose several or all options, as long as you do so one at a time.
