Getting the SSM#CNTLGRP column not in STCTBL error in OPS/MVS

Products

• OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Issue/Introduction

When trying to start a group of resources using the SSM SG command the following error is issued:

 *OPSNOTIFY SSM#CNTLGRP column not in STCTBL

Currently running SSM V2

 

Environment

OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation

Cause

The column SSM#CNTLGRP is missing from the resource table (STCTBL)

Resolution

You can use the SSM commands against groups with both SSM V2 and SSM V3. However, the column SSM#CNTLGRP must be present in the resource table for this functionality to work.

The easiest way to add this column to a resource table is by running the OPSSM3CV utility. You can run this program against a resource table  and continue using SSM V2. The additional columns don't affect SSM V2 functionality.

From documentation:

Add the new columns to your existing resource tables using the OPS/REXX utility program OPSSM3CV found in your installed hlq.CCLXEXEC data set. Follow the instructions in the utility. When executed with no passed parameters, OPSSM3CV will add all new SSM version 3 columns to all active SSM resource tables.
