Components

The following components are supplied as part of the Control-O/COSMOS demo environment:

• procedures that simulate messages issued by common started tasks
• object database describing started tasks

  Actions on objects in this database simulate actions on real started tasks. Starting or stopping a demo started task produces the same messages as starting or stopping a real started task without actually starting or stopping the real started task.

  For example, procedure xxxJES2 (the demo JES2 object) issues the same messages that JES2 issues when it is started or stopped. IPL or shutdown can be simulated without the need to initialize or shut down the computer.

  To enable running several demo systems in the same CPU the demonstration database object name prefixes are changed, in the COSINI command code, from CTO to the PROCPRFO prefix.

  For example, if the PROCPRFO prefix is "O60," an object named CTOJES2 is renamed to O60JES2.

• Object database containing demo VTAM LUs
• Prerequisite database describing interdependencies of objects in the demo Object databases

  Empty Object database (only the columns are defined) used to store started task objects defined by the SYSIMAGE facility. This database helps demonstrate how Control-O/COSMOS handles your production environment.

• Demo Method database

  This Method database contains descriptions of some of the methods required to manage objects in the Object databases of the demo environment.

Control-O/COSMOS rules of all types. Control-O/COSMOS rules are described in Component Details.

Method rules supplied with Control-O/COSMOS demonstrate basic management of Control-O/COSMOS-controlled objects. These rules can later be used as a basis for creation of additional rules used to manage objects in your production environment.
