seT

DAE

[ON | OFF]

Activates (or deactivates) the DAE setting in member BBISSPxx

DUMPS=

[YES | NO | SDUMP]

If SDUMP is specified, SVC dumps are created for the BBI-SS PAS.

JESFLTR

[CMD | WTO]

(MainView AutoOPERATOR only) Modifies the JESFLTR setting in member BBISSPxx

RULE

[ENA | DIS | TEST] ruleID

(MainView AutoOPERATOR only) Enables, disables, or places a Rule into test mode by ruleID

Examples of this command are:

• .T RULE,ENA,ICH00001
• .T RULE,TEST,ICH00012

RULESET

[ENA | DIS | RES | RFSH | SAV | TST], RuleSetName

(MainView AutoOPERATOR only) Enables or disables a specific Rule Set by RuleSetName

You also can reset or save a Rule Set by RuleSetName. Resetting a Rule Set is the same as disabling and re-enabling a Rule Set.

Specifying TST puts the specified Rule Set in TEST mode.

Examples of this command are:

• .T RULESET,ENA,RUL01CSM
• .T RULESET,RES,AAORUL01
• .T RULESET,SAV,AAORUL02
• .T RULESET,TST,RULMQS01

The RFSH parameter has the same effect as using the RES parameter in reloading the Rule Set from BBPARM (disk) but without interrupting TIME-initiated Rules (that are unmodified).

For example, the Rule Set RULTIM02 is newly read from BBPARM (disk) similar to using the RES parameter. However the RES parameter causes TIME-initiated Rules in RULTIM02 to be deleted and re-created. A TIME-initiated Rule might skip firing if it is Reset or, enabled shortly before the appointed firing time.

The RES parameter also suspends ATSTART TIME-initiated Rules and these Rules will not fire again until the next PAS start.

When using the RFSH parameter, the unmodified TIME-initiated Rules keep running as though the seT Ruleset command had not been issued.

RULESET

RuleSetName

(MainView AutoOPERATOR only) Disables all the currently enabled Rule Sets and enables the Rule Sets specified by RuleSetName

Prior to issuing the seT command, any Rules that you have created and enabled but have not saved to DASD will be lost when you issue the seT command.

This command does not change the setting you specified in BBPARM member AAOPRMxx; it only lets you override the setting until the BBI-SS PAS is restarted.
