Dynamic rule so that one task comes after the other during IPL

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

For example, how to manage with dynamic rules and OPSMVS SSM the following situation:

- IPLINFO started only once at IPL  (having this task not defined in SSM and started in COMMNDxx)

- DFHSM started BEFORE IPLINFO (it should be UP and running when IPLINFO starts). DFHSM is currently defined to SSM.

- every time DFHSM is restarted (so not only at IPL), IPLINFO should not be started again because it only need to be started once at IPL.

 

Environment

Release : All

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution

1. Sample rexx IPLTEST :

/*     REXX                   */
TRACE I
VAR = OPSINFO('PRODUCTSTARTS')
IF VAR > 1 THEN EXIT
DYNRULENAME = '*DYNAMIC.IPLTES1'
QUEUE ")TOD *+15 MINS                                  "
QUEUE ")PROC                                           "
QUEUE " TRACE I                                        "
QUEUE "ADDRESS SQL                                     "
QUEUE " 'SELECT NAME FROM STCTBL' ,                    "
QUEUE "  'WHERE CURRENT_STATE=''UP'' AND NAME=''ELD''' "
QUEUE "  IF SQLCODE = 0 THEN                           "
QUEUE " DO                                             "
QUEUE "   ADDRESS OPER                                 "
QUEUE "    'START IPLINFO'                             "
QUEUE " END                                            "
QUEUE " ELSE DO                                        "
QUEUE "      ADDRESS OSF 'OI IPLTEST'                  "
QUEUE "      END                                       "

ADDRESS AOF
"ENABLE" DYNRULENAME

 

2. How to trigger it and corresponding dynamic rule:

include the following lines in the SSMBEGUX user exit in the section below:

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------*/ 
/* User logic to set wtor, default, and schedule                     */ 
/*--+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----*/ 

Address 'OSF' "OI PROG(IPLTEST) " 

This should execute the REXX at the time SSM is initializing. 

 

3. Remove the start of IPLINFO from COMMNDxx member
