Object Scripting

Scripts create objects and perform automation services. The following are the types of scripts:

Automation Scripts

These are further divided into two categories: General Object Automation (GOA) scripts and Message Automation (MA) scripts. You must create these scripts to meet your specific needs, but many samples are provided. On the Menu Bar select z/OS, Object Scripting, Automation Scripts, then General Object Automation or Message Automation to see the list of Automation Scripts in your automation script library, identified by sysparm AUTOSCR.

Note: For more information about General Object Automation Scripts, see the chapter "Working with General Object Automation (GOA) Scripts" in the CA Vantage SRM User Guide. For more information about Message Automation Scripts, see the chapter "Working with Message Automation (MA) Scripts" in the CA Vantage SRM User Guide.

Audit Scripts

These scripts validate file, VTOC and catalog information, displaying any discrepancies that are found. The available audits are predefined in the factory, but must be customized and activated to meet your needs. On the Menu Bar select z/OS, Object Scripting, Audit Scripts to see the list of Audit Scripts in your system script library, identified by sysparm SYSTSCR.

Note: For more information about Audit Scripts, see the chapter "Working with Audit Scripts" in the CA Vantage SRM User Guide.

System Scripts

These scripts create objects or perform services that are an integral part of the product. They are predefined in the factory and distributed with the product. You only have to provide correct names and run-time schedules. On the Menu Bar select z/OS, Object Scripting, System Scripts to see the list of System Scripts in your system script library, identified by sysparm SYSTSCR.

Note: For more information about System Scripts, see the chapter "Working with System Scripts" in the CA Vantage SRM User Guide.

Object Logging (Scripts)

Scripts that log trend data.

Note: For more information about Object Logging (Scripts), see the chapter "Working with Trend Log Scripts" in the CA Vantage SRM User Guide.

A wizard guides you through defining and activating each of these scripts. The procedure is the same for all scripts.
