Configuring by using the TPL rules
To enable the integration between HCL Workload Automation for Z and Tivoli Output Manager,
make sure that you have:
- Installed PTF UI13683 for APAR PI07423: INTEGRATION ENHANCEMENTS FOR ISPF INTERFACE on Tivoli Output Manager. This PTF provides enhancements to the Tivoli Output Manager ISPF interface to facilitate the passing of parameters by using ISPF variables.
- Installed PTF UI25172 for APAR PI21174 on Tivoli Output Manager.
To configure Tivoli Output Manager to
capture the logs (sysouts in Tivoli Output Manager terminology)
of z/OS operations run by HCL Workload Automation for Z,
perform the following steps:
- Start the Tivoli Output Manager
Administrative Functions
dialog in ISPF and enterA
(Archive attributes). - Define an archive attribute by selecting
New
in theFile
action bar choice. Make sure that the Archive Mask allows the Tivoli Output Manager started task to WRITE these data set names and that your user ID has the ability to READ them. For example:Figure 1. IBM Tivoli Output Manager - Defining an archive attribute.

- Go back to the
Administrative Functions
dialog and enterT
(TPL rules). Then, depending on the code page you are using, define a TPL rule as follows (in this example, the code page IBM-1144 is applied).Note: For detailed information about special characters and their code pages, see IBM Tivoli Output Manager for z/OS: Administrator's Guidewhen match ".*>< OCCURRENCE --> (A-Z0-9$"à1,16) (ççdà3) (ççdà10) then begin set arcname = "&1 &2 &3"; end
- Go back to the
Administrative Functions
dialog and enterS
(Selector rules). Then:- Define a selector rule and link it to the archive attribute by
selecting the
Link
action bar choice. - Set the status to
Enabled
. - Specify the HCL Workload Automation for Z SYSOUT
classes that are to be processed by Tivoli Output Manager.
For example:

- Define a sub-selector by entering the
ss
command next to the selector you have just defined, and link it to the archive attribute by selecting theLink
action bar choice. - Set the status to
Enabled
. - Specify the HCL Workload Automation for Z SYSOUT
classes that are to be processed by Tivoli Output Manager.

TPL Rules
and add the TPL rule that you have defined.
- Define a selector rule and link it to the archive attribute by
selecting the
- Save your changes and return to the list of selector rules. The top level selector rule you just defined is now eligible to process any job log generated for z/OS operations by HCL Workload Automation for Z.
- If you want to continue to have the z/OS job logs processed into
the HCL Workload Automation for Z data
store, proceed to Configuring IBM Tivoli Output Manager for data store.
Otherwise, enter the
ACT
primary command to activate your changes. The Tivoli Output Manager started task is now ready to capture the z/OS job logs.
