Resource List attribute group
Use the Resource List attributes to display the System Automation Manager's
view of resources and their different types of states in the SA z/OS
subplex denoted by the managed system name.
Managed
System
ORIGINNODE
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
Resource
Name
RSCNAME
The name of an automation
resource, that is, the first qualifier of the resource name in automation manager
notation.
Resource
Type
RSCTYPE
The type of an automation
resource, that is, the second qualifier of the resource name in automation manager
notation. The valid types are:
- APL The resource is an application, for
example, a job.
- APG The resource is an application group.
- SYS The resource is a z/OS system.
- SYG The container resource that contains
all the resources in the z/OS system.
- GRP A group representing a physical sysplex
(systems with the same XCF group ID) or a logical sysplex (systems
with different XCF group IDs).
- IMG The resource is an application whose
sole purpose is to represent a system image.
- MTR The resource is a monitor resource.
System
SYSNAME
The name of the system where the resource
resides. Blank for sysplex resources.
Observed
Status
RSCOSTAT
The current status
of the resource as observed by the automation agent.
- Unknown The automation manager does not have any
observed status information about the resource. The automation manager will
assume that the resource is unavailable and will try to make it available
if this is the desired status.
- SysGone The system that the resource resides
on is no longer an active member of the sysplex.
- SoftDown The resource is not available (is
unavailable), but automation may make it available if a request is
made to do so.
- HardDown The resource is not available and
automation will not make it available.
- Starting The automation agent that is in charge
of the resource is either in the process of making the resource available,
or has detected that the resource is being started by another source.
- Available The resource is ready for use.
- Degraded The resource is available but has
some performance or capacity problems.
- Problem The resource is available but has
a serious problem, most likely making it unusable.
- Stopping The automation agent that is in charge
of the resource is in the process of stopping the resource, or has
detected that the resource is being shut down by another source.
- WasAvailable The automation manager has lost contact
with the automation agent that is responsible for the resource. However, the
resource was active (available) when contact was lost and the system
that the resource resides on appears to be running. The resource will
be treated as being available. This is primarily to prevent inappropriate
recovery actions from being initiated whenever an SA z/OS NetView is
recycled.
- Standby The resource has a primary or secondary
system association defined. The automation agent posts this status when setting
the agent status to MOVED or FALLBACK.
Note:
The automation manager
treats STANDBY like a HARDDOWN status except that it is not considered
to indicate an error condition.
Desired
Status
RSCDSTAT
The status that
the automation manager is trying to move the resource to.
- Available The resource should be started
(made available).
- Unavailable The resource should be stopped
(made unavailable).
Automation
Status
RSCASTAT
The status representing
the automation agent's automation for the resource.
- Unknown The automation manager does not have a connection
to the automation agent that is responsible for the resource. No automation
will be done.
- Sysgone The system that the resource resides
on is no longer an active member of the sysplex.
- Idle The automation agent that is responsible for
the resource is not doing anything for the resource. No orders have
been sent by the automation manager that the agent is working on. The automation manager
may send the automation agent new orders.
The automation agent posts this status
when setting the agent status to DOWN, RESTART, UP, ENDED, AUTODOWN,
CTLDOWN, STOPPED, BROKEN, INACTIVE, MOVED, or FALLBACK.
- Ordered The automation manager has sent an order
to the automation agent that is responsible for the resource to either start
or stop the resource. The agent is working on the order.
- Busy The automation agent that is responsible for
the resource is processing the orders that were sent by the automation manager,
or observing or assisting a start or stop process that was initiated
by another source. This status is set when the resource's observed
status becomes STARTING or STOPPING, and the previous automation status
was IDLE or ORDERED. This status is changed to IDLE if the resource
reaches an observed status other than STARTING or STOPPING.
The automation agent
posts this status when setting the agent status to STARTED, EXTSTART,
ACTIVE, RUNNING, ENDING, AUTOTERM, STOPPING, ABENDING or BREAKING.
- Denied The automation agent was not allowed to process
the last order that it received. The status is changed to IDLE if
the resource reaches an observed status of HARDDOWN, SOFTDOWN or AVAILABLE.
The automation agent
posts this status if the agent automation flags do not permit the
action.
- Problem The automation agent encountered a problem
while processing for the resource. This status is changed to IDLE
if the resource achieves an observed status of HARDDOWN, SOFTDOWN
or AVAILABLE.
Note:
This status is posted by the automation agent
when setting the agent status to STARTED2, HALFDOWN, STUCK or ZOMBIE.
- Internal This means that the automation
of the resource is being handled internally. The resource does not
have an automation agent that is responsible for it.
Automation
Flag
RSCAFLAG
Shows the automation
flag that is maintained by the automation manager. No automation is done for
the resource by the automation manager when the flag is off.
- Yes Automation is allowed.
- No Automation is not allowed.
Hold
Flag
RSCHFLAG
Shows the hold flag
that is maintained by the automation manager.
- No Start the resource at IPL.
- Yes Hold the resource at IPL until it is
released by operations.
Description
RSCDESCR
Descriptive information about the
resource.
Start
Type
RSCSTTYP
The preset start type
that will be used the next time the resource is made available (started).
This value is set by INGSET and will override any TYPE value that
is specified (or defaulted to) in the next INGREQ start request.
Stop
Type
RSCSPTYP
The preset stop type
that will be used the next time the resource is made unavailable (shut
down). This value is set by INGSET and will override any TYPE value
specified (or defaulted to) in the next INGREQ stop request. However,
a stop type of FORCE, wherever specified, will always be honored.
Schedule
RSCSCHED
The schedule (service period) that
the resource is linked to.
Trigger
RSCTRIGG
The trigger that is associated with
the resource.
Compound
Status
RSCCSTAT
The compound status
of the resource. This is a summary of all statuses of the resource
and provides a single value that tells you if the resource is OK or
if it has a problem. It can have one of the following values:
Startability
Status
RSCSSTAT
Indicates whether
or not it is possible to start the resource if the automation manager is asked
to do so at this point in time. It can have one of the following values:
- Unknown The startability status is not available
for this resource.
- Yes The resource can be started.
- No The resource cannot be started.
- Inhibited The resource cannot be started
because of either a problem with one of its supporting resources (start
dependency), or because automation has been prohibited.
- Denied The resource is not startable because
automation for this resource is denied. For example, this might be
the case when the system is suspended.
Group
Nature
RSCGNAT
Applies to group
resources only and defines the type of the group.
- BASIC Indicates that the group contains
a number of different resources, all of which perform different roles
to make a complete application.
- MOVE Indicates that the group contains alternate
instances of the same resource.
- SERVER Indicates that the group contains
a number of readily interchangeable resources. The group has a target
that tells the automation manager how many of them should be made available
for the group to be available.
Category
RSCCATEG
Shows the category of the resource,
such as CICS®, DB2® or IMS™.
Subtype
RSCSUBTY
The subtype of the resource. Applies
to resources of category CICS, DB2, IMS,
TWS, Infosphere and Lifeline.
Health
Status
RSCHSTAT
The health status
of the resource.
