Rules are disabled after IPL

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

After the IPL most of the rules are in disabled state even having the auto-enable option is set to Y. 

 

Environment

OPS/MVS

Cause

The OPSLOG at the OPS initialization revealed the root cause. Several rules were not enabled because they called a subroutine that didn't exist:

OPS3918E ERROR 43 COMPILING ruleset.rulename, LINE nnn: ROUTINE xxxxxx NOT FOUND

Resolution

When a rule uses the CALL statement to invoke an external REXX routine the member called must be:

- In the SYSEXEC concatenation of the OPSMAIN started task

- In the ruleset where the rule resides
