Enable or Disable a Single Rule

If you have not read Lesson 4: How to Organize Rules with Rule Sets, do so now. Then proceed.

To enable or disable a single rule

1. Access the AOF control facility.
   • Access the AOF CTRL panel. Begin at the OPSVIEW Primary Options Menu (shown in Lesson 1: Create a Rule Using the AOF). Type 4.5.1 in the Option field and press Enter. As a result, the AOF CTRL Entry panel appears. A sample panel is shown here:

     AOF CTRL - Entry panel --- MSI1 --- O P S V I E W ------------ Subsystem OPSS
     COMMAND ===>
     Rule data sets of the form  OPS.*.RULES:
        Rule sets  ===>              ( * or blank for all rule sets )
            Either specify a specific rules et or request a list of all rule sets.
        Stats    ===> Y            ( Y to list statistics or N to suppress them )
            When listing all rule sets, you can request suppression of cumulative
            statistics and experience faster response by specifying 'N' above.
        System   ===> *LOCAL*                 WAIT ===> 10
            Either specify the name of an MSF connected system or * for the local
            system.  Enter ? for a list of MSF connected systems.
     

   • Access the Rule Set List Panel. On the AOF CTRL Entry panel, type an asterisk (*) in the Rule sets field and press Enter. Or, just press Enter without making an entry.
   • (Optional) Fill in the Stats field before pressing Enter to indicate whether the Rule Set List panel includes the cumulative statistics.

   Note: When requesting the Rule Set List panel, place a Y in the Stats field of the AOF CTRL Entry Panel so that statistics are included.

   In response to your entries, the Rule Set List panel appears, as shown in the following sample:

   AOF CTRL - Rule Set List ------ MSI1 --- OPS.*.RULES -------------- ROW 1 OF 3
   COMMAND ===>                                                  SCROLL ===> PAGE
         Line Commands: S Select   E Enable   D Disable   U Utilities
         A Set Auto-Enable   Z Reset Auto-Enable   C Compile   X Delete Compile
                              System: *LOCAL*
   RuleSet  Status  AE CNT  VV.MM Created  Changed        Size Init  Mod   ID
   ACTION   ENABLED  Y 2    01.00 09/02/18 09/02/18 13:17  101  101    0 OPSLCD
   CICS     ENABLED  Y 2    01.00 09/01/12 09/02/21 15:59   15   20    1 OPSKED

2. Enable or disable an individual rule. Follow these steps to enable or disable a single rule:
   1. Select the rule set that contains the rule you want. From the Rule Set List panel, select a rule set by typing S to the left of the name of the rule set and pressing Enter.

      In response, the following Rule List panel appears listing all of the selected rules in the rule set:

      AOF CTRL - Rule List ------ MSI1 --- OPS.IMS.RULES             Row 1 to 2 of 2
      Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> PAGE
         Line Commands: R EasyRule   S ISPF Edit   C Compile   X Delete Compile    
                V View  E Enable  D Disable  A Set Auto-Enable  Z Reset Auto-Enable
                                 System: *LOCAL*                                   
        RuleName Status  AE TYP VV.MM  Created  Changed       Size Init  MOD   ID  
        DFS994I  ENABLED  N MSG 01.00 09/11/14 09/11/14 06:32    3    3    0 USER123

   2. Enable a rule by typing E to the left of the name of the rule and press Enter. To disable a rule on the Rule List panel, type D to the left of the name of the rule and press Enter.
