Issue/Introduction

A rule has not issued all OPER commands it was supposed to issue.
The following error appeared in the OPSLOG:

OPS1094J ERROR 94 RUNNING ruleset.rule, LINE nnn: OVER xx SECONDS USED FOR EXECUTION

Environment

OPS/MVS

Cause

The rule took too long to complete its execution and exceeded the value of the parameter AOFMAXSECONDS.

Resolution

This problem may be intermittent as it depends on environment conditions at the time the rule is executing.

There are some possible solutions:

1) Include an OPTIONS statement in the )INIT section of this rule to override the general AOFMAXSECONDS value:
)INIT
OPTIONS "MAXSECONDS=yy"

2) Dispatch a REXX program to an OSF server to issue the actual commands

ADDRESS OSF "OI rexxpgmname"

3) Split this rule into 2 and put part of the commands in a separate rule.
