General Organization of the Control-O/COSMOS Rules

Control-O/COSMOS is implemented by a Control-O subtask whose main objective is to check the status of the controlled objects, and to issue a message when an action is required. These messages cause Control-O/COSMOS rules to be triggered, which work to balance the system as necessary.

As of version 6.1.00, the Control-O/COSMOS table has been split into two separate tables, $COSMOSO and $COSMOSU. These tables are stored in the IOAhighlevel.IOAENV and CTOhighlevel.RULES libraries, respectively.

• $COSMOSO table contains those rules provided and maintained by BMC. This table is maintainable through SMP/E fixes.
• $COSMOSU table contains those rules that you can modify, and is therefore not maintained by SMP/E fixes.
