Automation Environment attribute group

Use the Automation Environment attributes to display those systems running a SA z/OS agent or a 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
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
System Name
PLEXSNAM
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
PLEXMNAM
The name given to the automation manager or automation agent. The member names are automatically assigned by SA z/OS.
Role
PLEXMROL
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
PLEXSTAT
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.
SID
PLEXSID
The 4-character SMF system ID the member is running on (agent only).
Runmode
PLEXRUNM
The current runmode of the system. Blank for entries other than automation agents.
Automation Manager Preference
PLEXAUTM
The preference given to the automation manager. Shows n/a for entries other than automation managers.
SAplex Name
PLEXSAP
The SA z/OS Subplex name.
Domain
PLEXDOM
The NetView domain ID of the system. Blank for entries other than automation agents or if a PLEXID is specified in the INGXINIT member.
Primary Focal Point
PLEXPRIM
The name of the primary SDF focal point defined for the system. Blank for entries other than automation agents or if a PLEXID is specified in the INGXINIT member.
Backup Focal Point
PLEXBACK
The name of the backup SDF focal point defined for the system. Blank for entries other than automation agents or if a PLEXID is specified in the INGXINIT member.
