Notifying the System Programmer of a Problem

The example in Figure 100 demonstrates how Control-O can be used to notify appropriate individuals that a specific type of problem was detected.

DESCRIPTION NOTIFYING THE SYSTEM PROGRAMMER OF A PROBLEM

DESCRIPTION SMF DATASET OR SYS1.PARMLIB COULD NOT BE OPENED

DESCRIPTION INFORM THE SYSPROG TSO USER AND CTO-PC

DESCRIPTION

===========================================================================

DO SHOUT    = TO TSO-SYSPROG       URGENCY R SYSTEM           CTO282I

   MESSAGE %%$MSG

DO CTOPCMSG = PAGE %%$MSG

Explanation

When the IEE365I message, which indicates that the SMF data set or SYS1.PARMLIB could not be opened, is detected, this rule is triggered:

DO SHOUT=TO TSO-SYSPROG

This statement sends a message to the specified destination. In this example the message that triggered the rule, indicated by the %%$MSG AutoEdit System variable, is forwarded to the system programmer.

TSO-SYSPROG can refer to one or more destinations, depending on the definition of this destination in the IOA Dynamic Destination Table. For more information, see the description of the IOA dynamic destination table in the IOA administration chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

DO CTOPCMSG=PAGE %%$MSG

The message that triggered this rule is also forwarded to Control-M/Links for Windows NT. Control-M/Links for Windows NT can then forward the message to the system programmer, for example, by using a paging device.
