Issue/Introduction

Is it possible to convert the Automate Rules to AOF Rule or REXX in bulk? Is there a conversion utility provided?

Environment

Release : r13.5 and the lower

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution

The former Automate (ATM) rules will no longer be able to be maintained via the OPS/MVS panels starting with release 14.0.   ATM rules should be converted to OPS/MVS rules using the Translate Automate/MVS Rules panel prior to upgrading to OPS/MVS release 14.0.  To reach this panel from the main OPSVIEW panel select options  A.0.T.1

All of the rules can be converted at one time by specifying * in the member name.  As with any conversion, it is highly recommended to have a backup of the ATM rules dataset prior to conversion.
