SSM Component

The following applications provide automation for the SSM Component of CA OPS/MVS.

OP4UEXIT

User command exit allows user to trigger any type of end-user automation against some SSM resource. Users can implement their own new line and primary command to be able to invoke a program. For example, an OPS/REXX validation program, SSM Note or a new ISPF application.

SECSSM1, SECSSM2, and SECSSM3

Demonstrate how to secure the updating of SSM components.

SSMALTSB

Demonstrates how to alter normal SSM subrequisite processing to allow for a different controlled shutdown of a group of resources using the XSUBREQ action process.

For example, startup may be JOBA, JOBB, JOBC, and then JOBD. Upon shutdown the normal SSM subrequisite processing would be to stop JOBD, JOBC, JOBB, and then JOBA. This sample demonstrates how to alter the normal subrequisite shutdown so that JOBC stops first, JOBA stops second, JOBD stops third, and JOBB stops last.

SSMCHECK

Implements a health check against SSM after IPL to ensure that any failed or problem resource has been acted upon.

SSMCNTL

Demonstrates creating a console interface application to control and monitor SSM functionality.

SSMEOJ

Demonstrate implementing end-user logic into SSM to monitor and control batch jobs similar to SSMEOM that monitors STCs.

SSMEXCPS

Displays all SSM STCTBL resources for all CA OPS/MVS MSF connections where both CURRENT and DESIRED states <> UP, or the CURRENT state is down.

SSMMAINT

Demonstrates how to dynamically implement SSM table changes during an IPL or a recycle of CA OPS/MVS.

SSMMAINT uses the following process to implement the SSM table changes:

  1. Creates backups of existing production tables
  2. Loads and uses the predefined new tables
SSMMOVE, SSMPLEXC, SSMXPREQ, and SSMXSUBR

Illustrates one method of monitoring and configuring cross-system dependencies within a sysplex.

SSMQUERY

Demonstrates the logic needed to identify the table where the SSM resource resides, for SSM configurations that have STCs in multiple resource tables.

SSMTREE

Generates a formatted file representation of a system state managed resource table. This file can then be used with GRAPHVIZ http://www.graphviz.org/License.php to display a graphical representation of the table's resource relationships.

SSMWEBSP

Provides rules and procedures to control a deployment manager WebSphere configuration within SSM.

SSMXCHCK

Determines the state of a remotely monitored SSM resource within the MSF connected or sysplex environment.

SSM2XCEL

Insert SSM resource and action table data into a sequential dsn so that it can be FTP'd and viewed as an Xcel document.
