IBM Z System Automation

Hi In a Timer definition (option 30), the field TASK ,  is explained in the Help , and mentions that it can be a "group",  (with + sign ),  How do I define such a group?

Searched in the Automation Policy definition , but could not figure out how do Define this group...

Thanks Jurgen,

This is the table we define in the SECOPTS.CMDAUTH, right?

So if we use SAF RACF , I just define a RACF Group right?

Jorge,

unfortunately it's not. A +Group is something you define in NetView either via CNMSTYLE statements or via the ASSIGN command. So nothing here in the RACF area, this is plain NetView business. This is how a CNMSTYLE Statement would look like:

ASSIGN.STATGRP.GROUP = NETOP1, NETOP2,AUTO1

The same statement done with the ASSIGN command:

ASSIGN GROUP=+STATGRP,OP=(NETOP1,NETOP2,AUTO1)

NetView Groups comprise of a trailing '+' and following 7 chars at max. This is an exerpt of the help for the AT command regarding Groups:

Group names must begin with a plus (+) sign. A group name instructs 
the NetView program to queue the command to the first operator
in that group, according to the ASSIGN order, that is logged  
on. If a group name was specified which contains no logged-on 
operators, the command is not run.

Hello Dietmar,

Thank you for putting that right.  The term "operator group" seems to be overloaded then.  We'll add a comment in the doc.

Best regards

Jürgen

Thank you
