Automation Environment
Use the Automation Environment attributes to display those systems running
an SA z/OS agent or an SA z/OS manager connected to the SA z/OS sysplex XCF group.
The SA z/OS sysplex is denoted by the managed system name.
Managed System
The name of the SA z/OS subplex, that is,
the group of systems controlled by a single primary automation manager and configured
to the same XCF group. The valid format is a character string with a maximum
length of 32 bytes and the following syntax:
sysplex:saplex:SA
System Name
The name of the system the automation agent or automation manager is running
on. The system name can be up to 8 characters long.
Member Name
The name given to the automation manager or automation agent. The automation manager names
are automatically assigned by SA z/OS.
Role
The role that the instance plays.
- AGENT The instance is an automation agent.
- PAM The instance is the primary automation manager.
- SAM The instance is a secondary automation manager.
- AM The instance is an automation manager that initializes.
Status
The member's status. It can be one of the following:
- NOT READY Indicates that the automation manager is initializing.
For an automation agent it means one of the following:
- The automation agent is initializing but has not yet received the ACF_LOAD order
from the automation manager.
- The automation agent could not load the ACF as requested by the automation manager, this
is most likely due to token mismatch.
- READY Indicates that the automation manager or automation agent has
completely initialized.
- PENDING Indicates that the automation manager is in the process
of initializing as a primary automation manager. For an automation agent it means that the automation agent is
in the process of loading the ACF as requested by the automation manager or with the
ACF LOAD command.
- SELECTED Indicates that the automation manager has been selected
to become the next primary automation manager (PAM).
- STOPPING Indicates that the automation manager is terminating.
- REFRESH Indicates that the automation agent will perform
a configuration refresh. After the configuration refresh is completed the
status shows READY again.
Sysplex Name
The name of the sysplex.
XCF Group Name
The name of the associated XCF group.
Product Release
The release level of the automation agent or automation manager.
The syntax of this field is VvRrMm, where
- v denotes the product version
- r denotes the product release
- m denotes the modification level
Comm Method
The type of communication being used between the automation manager and
the automation agent. It can be one of the following:
- XCF Communication is handled by means of XCF.
- MQ Communication is handled by means of MQSeries
messages.
E2E Focal Point
The end-to-end focal point indicator. The
end-to-end focal point is the interface that the automation adapter with the z/OS plug-in
is running for end-to-end automation. The value can be one of the following:
- No This z/OS system is not the focal point for
connecting the SA z/OS subplex to an end-to-end automation environment.
- Yes This z/OS system is the focal point that connects
the SA z/OS subplex to an end-to-end automation environment.
SID
The 4-character SMF system ID the member is running on (agent only).
