Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to enable or disable AOF rules using z/OS console commands?

Environment

OPS/MVS

Resolution

We deliver a sample rule named OPSAOF in the OPS/MVS library CCLXRULS.

This command rule allows users to issue console commands to interact with the AOF.

For example:

OPSOAF ENABLE ruleset.rulename

OPSAOF DISABLE ruleset.rulename

To implement this rule:

1) Copy the OPSAOF member from the CCLXRULS library to a production ruleset

2) Enable and auto-enable the new rule
