  • xiv System Automation for z/OS Messages and Codes:

  • Chapter 1. About System Automation for z/OS Messages

    This book describes System Automation for z/OS messages and codes. It enablessystem operators and system programmers to respond to messages appropriatelyand efficiently.

    Format of System Automation for z/OS MessagesEach System Automation for z/OS system message begins with a unique messageidentifier, followed by message text.

    In general, the message format is as follows:XXXynnnt MESSAGE TEXT

    where:

    XXX or XXXXIs the program identifier. It identifies where in System Automation forz/OS the message originated from. It can have three or four charactersv AOF: System operationsv EVE: CICS-related messagesv EVI : IMS-related messagesv EVJ: TWS-related messagesv HSA: Automation managerv IHV: I/O operationsv ING: System Automation for z/OS, general partsv ISQ: Processor operations

    Y Is the SA z/OS component specific identifier.

    nnn Is the message identification number. It is a three-digit or four-digitnumber that uniquely identifies each message.

    t Is the message type. It is a letter that helps indicate the purpose of themessage and the type of response required for the message. The messagetypes are:

    A Immediate Action. Requires the system operator to perform an action.The associated task does not continue until the requested action istaken.

    D Immediate Decision. Requires the system operator to make a decisionfrom the available options specified on the message. For example, if arequest for a particular tape drive cannot be satisfied, a systemoperator will have to communicate a decision (REPLY “RETRY” or“CANCEL”) back to the system. The associated task is suspended untilthe operator communicates the decision to the system.

    E Eventual Action. Requires eventual action by the system operator. Theassociated task continues independent of the operator action.

    I Information. Requires no action. This message is used only foradvisory purposes.

    W System Wait. Requires system operator action immediately. The systemor a major subsystem must be restarted.

    © Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 2014 1

  • Message TextThe message text provides concise information about an event or condition ofinterest to an operator or system programmer. Variable text is used to identifysystem components and to provide other detailed information. In this book,variable text in messages is italicized, for example, job_name.

    Some messages include two or more alternate text strings, only one of which isgenerated with any single occurrence of the message. The text string generateddepends on the condition the message is reporting. In this book, alternate textstrings are surrounded by braces ({ and }) and are separated by the OR bar (|). Forexample: {domain | operator}.

    In some cases, messages include optional text. Optional text might or might notappear with the message, depending on the condition reported by the message. Inthis book, optional text is surrounded by brackets ([ and ]).

    In some cases " - FROM=sysname" is appended to the message text, where sysnameindicates the system where the message originated. This normally applies wherethe message was received by a slave process running on a remote system.

    Who Receives MessagesSystem Automation for z/OS messages are received by automation operators andnotification operators. Automation operators are automated operator tasks orautotasks that can respond to operating system, subsystem, and network messageswithout requiring a human operator.

    Notification operators are NetView® operators who receive System Automation forz/OS notification messages, or messages about actions System Automation forz/OS either detects or takes. Notification messages are routed to one or moreassigned, logged-on operators. Notification operators can be defined the followingways:v Using the Operator Notification panel in the customization dialogs. Refer to IBM

    Tivoli System Automation for z/OS Defining Automation Policy for furtherinformation on how to use the customization dialogs.

    v Using the INGNTFY command. Refer to IBM Tivoli System Automation for z/OSUser's Guide for more information on how to use the INGNTFY command.

    Displaying Notification Operator SettingsIf you want to find out who is currently receiving SA z/OS messages, use theINGNTFY command dialog.

    INGNTFY displays a list of notification operators, whether they are logged on andare receiving messages, and a description of the operator from either theautomation control file or the INGNTFY command dialog.

    About System Automation for z/OS Messages

    2 System Automation for z/OS Messages and Codes:

  • Notification operators can be logged on without receiving messages if they haveused the INGNTFY command to turn off messages. Refer to IBM Tivoli SystemAutomation for z/OS User's Guide for further information.

    Message ClassesSome messages generated by System Automation for z/OS have a message class.During automated operations, the class of the message is compared to the class ofeach notification operator. Any operator with a class matching the message’s classreceives the message.

    To find out which classes of messages are assigned to each operator, use thecustomization dialogs. For further information on the customization dialogs, referto IBM Tivoli System Automation for z/OS Defining Automation Policy.

    AOF032I USAGE util %, LONG LINEAR pred1,SHORT LINEAR pred2, 1ST ORDERpred3

    Explanation: This message is posted to SDF whenJES2 spool recovery has been initiated and SA z/OSmakes predictions about future spool usage. There arethree different prediction methods:

    Long LinearThis method looks at the first data point andthe latest data point, and does a linearextrapolation to predict how long it will takefor the spool to reach 100% utilization.

    Data points occur if either the pass processorruns, or a spool recovery initialization message(HASP050 or HASP355) is received.

    Short LinearThis method is like long linear, but is based onthe last two data points.

    Short 1st OrderThis method takes the last 3 data points,works out the rate of change between eachpair of consecutive points, then works out thevariation between these two rates of change. Itthen extrapolates using this quadratic variationto predict when the spool will reach 100%utilization.

    v The variable util shows the current percent utilizationof all active spool volumes.

    v The variables pred1, pred2, pred3 are spool usagepredictions. They can have the following values:

    hh:mm:ssThe predicted time for the spool to reach100% utilization.

    NONE Insufficient data points were collected tomake the prediction.

    STABLEThere is no change in spool usage betweenthe data points. Spool usage is neitherincreasing nor decreasing.

    SAFE The projected spool usage falls below thelowest data point rather than reaching 100%utilization.

    DROPPINGThe latest data point is lower than theothers.

    FULL The current data point shows 100% spoolutilization.
