Shout / Mail Facility Destination Table Administration

The IOA Shout (SHOUT WHEN, DO SHOUT) and Mail (DO MAIL) facilities allow the user to specify messages / e-mails to be sent to various destinations, defined by the following tables:

• Control‑M Dynamic Destination Table (IOADEST)

  Destinations in a production environment are not necessarily fixed. For example, the TSO logon ID of the shift manager is different in every shift. The Dynamic Destination table enables the user to specify a group name destination and which final destinations it represents. For more information about setting up Dynamic Destination tables, see both IOA Concepts and Components, and IOA Administration.

  Although the Control-M Shout facility supports use of the MAILDEST table, BMC recommends that e-mails be sent using the DO MAIL facility and not the Shout facility (because of inherent limitations when using the Shout facility to send e-mail). See the Control-M for z/OS User Guide for information on the DO MAIL parameter.

• Control‑M Mail Destination Table (MAILDEST)

  Mail destinations consist of names, addresses and groups to whom Control‑M can send e–mail messages. The following section describes how to set up the Mail Destination table.

• IOA SNMP Destination Table (SNMPDEST)

  SNMP destinations consist of host names, IP addresses, nicknames, group names, and port numbers to whom Control-M can send SNMP traps (messages). For information about setting up the table, see IOA Administration.
