SP-AMS, CP-AMS, and Operations Sentinel

Single Point Autoaction Message System (SP-AMS) and ClearPath Enterprise Systems OS 2200 Autoaction Message System (CP-AMS) are part of Operations Sentinel. SP-AMS automates system operations for MCP and UNIX systems and partitions; CP‑AMS automates system operations for OS 2200 partitions in a ClearPath Enterprise Systems server.

Autoaction Databases

An autoaction database contains a series of patterns. Each pattern includes message-matching criteria that are used to match messages from managed systems, and actions that are automatically executed when the pattern matches a system message. You can create any number of autoaction databases, but only one database at a time can actively match messages for a system.

The single active SP-AMS database matches messages from all MCP and UNIX systems that Operations Sentinel is managing. A different active CP-AMS database for each OS 2200 console of a ClearPath Enterprise Systems server matches messages sent to that OS 2200 console by the OS 2200 partition.

AMS includes the Autoaction Database Manager (ADBM) to develop and maintain autoaction databases. You can also use command prompt utilities–Build Autoaction Database (BADB), Dump Autoaction Database (DADB), Verify Autoaction Database (VADB), and Distribute–to create, update, dump, test, and distribute autoaction databases.
