Implementing EventView Rule Sets › EventView Rule Sets

EventView Rule Sets

EventView rule sets consist of various members that define how an event is processed and what actions are taken in response to the event. An EventView rule set can include the following:

• Initial actions
• Message rules
• Message group rules
• Timer rules
• Other rule sets

You can create an EventView rule set for each area of responsibility. For example, you can create a CICS rule set, a VTAM rule set, and so on, to organize your rules in logical and manageable groups.

Note: Specify automation that deals with the status of resources in the resource definition, not in a message rule.

To activate an EventView rule set, it must be associated with an active system image.

Note: For information about system images, see the Reference Guide.

Only one EventView rule set, known as the primary rule set, is associated with a system image. If you want to activate more than one EventView rule set, include the other rule sets in the rule set associated with the active image. For example, you could create a master EventView rule set into which all other EventView rule sets are included.
