I recently created ARM policy couple datasets and loaded a policy to restart
just our automation product, CA-OPS/MVS. I ran some tests, canceling
OPS/MVS, and it restarted.
However, now I see (in the display below) that many tasks have automatically
registered with ARM. I was not expecting this, as I had to turn on a
parameter in OPS/MVS to have it begin registering with ARM.
I formatted my couple datasets to have room for 20 elements, although I
would only be needing a few. I see that the display has 20 lines. So it
appears that I need to format a larger ARM policy couple datasets.
I know that I can code OPS/MVS ARM rules to control ARM restarts, but I
assumed that I would only need that for tasks which were to be restarted by
ARM.
Some questions:
-What item should I key in on in the D XCF,ARMS,STATE=AVAIL display, the D
XCF,ARMS,EL=element display, or the IXCMIAPU report (or something else I
missed) to know that the registered tasks will or will not restart.
-Do I need to specify parms in each IBM product to turn ARM registration
off, or is registration okay, as long as the policy does not define a
restart_method
-I defined an element for each MVS system. Was that really necessary?
