User Applic. in Menu | User application in Entire Operations Main Menu. Mark this field with any character and press ENTER to create a user application definition and open a User Application in Main Menu window. (see the relevant section).
Default Node | Default Entire System Server node ID. This node is used for all internal calls to Entire System Server if no other node number is specified explicitly.
User ID Definition |
`L` | First, the user must have logged on successfully to a node. Then, a JCL or submit user ID can be defined.
`A` | All JCL or submit user IDs can be defined (default).
A logon is always required for: User ID `TSOS` on BS2000 nodes; User ID `root` on UNIX nodes.
File Password Prompting |
Possible values:
`E` | If a file is password-protected, always prompt for a file password before editing.
`N` | Do not prompt for a password (default). Use the defined password, if necessary.
Network Default Activation Escape | Global escape character used as the prefix for Natural code lines and symbols that are to be replaced at activation time. Default: Dollar sign (`$`). You can define specific escape characters for each operating system by marking OpSys Specials.
Note Dynamic JCL might become invalid if this escape character is changed.
Network Default Submission Escape | Global escape character used as the prefix for symbols that are to be replaced at submission time. You can define specific escape characters for each operating system by marking OpSys Specials. Default: Dollar sign (`$`). The character recommended for BS2000 is the semi-colon (`;`).
Note Dynamic JCL might become invalid if this escape character is changed.
Logon Screen obligatory | If `Y` is specified here, the Entire Operations logon screen is always presented. This setting is recommended if an external security system like RACF is installed, since a password must be entered.
Stack 'RETURN' on Logoff | If `Y` is specified here, an Entire Operations online session will be finished with the Natural command `RETURN`. Otherwise, it is not finished. Only with `RETURN` can control be given back to another Natural application.
If `T` is specified here, the Natural session will be terminated with the Entire Operations session.
Retention Periods:
Active Networks | Maximum number of days Entire Operations keeps active networks in the active database. If the network is not completed within this time, a warning message is issued to a mailbox linked to the network. Default: 2 days.

See also the Retention Period for Network option that can be specified for a single network as described in Retention of Active Network Data in the User's Guide.
Active Jobs | Maximum number of days Entire Operations keeps active jobs in the active database. This retention period also applies to data generated for import/export operations or reports. For active jobs, this period must be longer than the Active Networks retention period. Jobs will be deactivated after this this time, even if the active network is not completed. Default: 2 days. Note The retention period for an active job is calculated backwards from the real start time of the job, if available. Otherwise, it is calculated backwards from the activation time of the job.
Active Conditions | Maximum number of days Entire Operations keeps active conditions in the active database. This retention period also applies to resource allocations with deallocation mode `K` (keep until explicit release). Default: 7 days. See also the Deactivation Mode for active Conditions option that can be used for a single network to keep active conditions as described in Retention of Active Network Data in the User's Guide.

`N` | Users are not allowed to request a run number (default).
Search also in other symbol tables of active network | `Y` | Symbols will be searched also in other active symbol tables of the active network.
`N` | Symbols will not be searched in other active symbol tables of the active network.
Write results of MM and MV to active symbol table | `Y` | Values returned for the symbol functions `MM` and `MV` are written to the active symbol table. Subsequent symbol function executions with the same parameters will use these values. See also in the section Functions for Symbol Replacement in the User's Guide.
`N` | Values returned for the symbol functions `MM` and `MV` are not written to the active symbol table (default).
SYSOUT Line Limit | `0` - `9999999999999` | Determine the line limit for SYSOUT. Default: 0 (no limit). If the SYSOUT of a job exceeds the line limit set, the lines are truncated after the line number specified in this field. This affects the following SYSOUT functions: Extended SYSOUT logging is truncated. See also Displaying Extended Log Information in the User's Guide. SYSOUT browsing of a file or spool data set is truncated and ends with a warning message like the following: `===== EOR4123 - SYSOUT line limit 1000 reached =====` SYSOUT is truncated if copied from UNIX or Windows to the mainframe (for example, BS2000). SYSOUT is truncated if passed from UNIX or Windows to Entire Output Management (NOM), depending on the Entire System Server version installed at your site. Log messages are written for the above cases. z/OS, JES2: The value is divided by 1000 and inserted with a `/*LINES` command. If the division result is 0, the value is set to 1.
Maximum SYSOUT Size (in MB) | `Zero, or a maximum SYSOUT Size (Unit: Megabytes)` | Applies to UNIX and Windows jobs only. If the SYSOUT of a job exceeds the maximum specified here, the job will be set to 'not ok', and no end-of-job actions will be performed. Default: 0 (no limit)
Line Limit for End-of-Job Checking | `B` | Applies to BS2000 only. Interrupt the job if the SYSOUT line limit is reached. If a SYSOUT file has reached or exceeded the given SYSOUT Line Limit, the job will be treated as interrupted during End-of-Job checking and set to `not ok`.
blank | The job is not treated as interrupted if the SYSOUT line limit is reached (default).
Copy SYSOUT File before passing it to NOM | `Y` | Applies to BS2000 only. Copy the SYSOUT file physically and pass the copy to the Entire Output Management API (default). This doubles the necessary disk storage for SYSOUT files created by Entire Operations.
`N` | Pass the original SYSOUT file to the Entire Output Management API. Note If the copying of SYSOUT files for Entire Output Management is switched off, SYSOUT files may get lost or overwritten, for example, if the creating job is resubmitted or restarted for recovery.
SYSOUT Store Node | Zero or an existing NPR (Entire System Server) Node | If a UNIX or Windows node is defined here, the SYSOUT of all UNIX and Windows jobs will be copied to that node. If the SYSOUT store node was defined or changed, the Entire Operations Monitor must be restarted.
Show installed ESM Products in CUI Main Menu | `Y` | Installed ESM Products will be shown in the NOP CUI main menu (default)
`N` | No other ESM products will be shown in the NOP CUI main menu.

   - If you selected BS2000, see Defaults for BS2000.

   - If you selected UNIX or Windows, see Defaults for UNIX and Windows.

## Defaults for BS2000

This section provides instructions for setting BS2000 defaults.

You can set the defaults for BS2000 on two screens:

- Defaults for BS2000 (1) for general settings and

- Defaults for BS2000 (2) for BS2000 message codes that force a `job not OK` by default.

To set defaults for BS2000

1. Select BS2000 from the selection window on the Default Setting (1) screen.

   A Defaults for BS2000 (1) screen like the example below appears:

        17-06-06                ***** Entire Operations *****                11:31:07
        Owner EXAMPLE               Defaults for BS2000 (1)

        End-of-Job Checking
          Highest Severity Code accepted as ok         ==> 0000

        SYSOUT Handling
          These values will be used as defaults for new job definitions:
          Make the SYSOUT Collection File shareable    ==> N  (Y/N)
          Append the SYSLST File(s) to the SYSOUT File ==> N  (Y/N)

        Monitor Job Variables
          Remove internal Monitor Job Variables after End-of-Job Handling ==> Y (Y/N)

        Escapes: Activation ==> @ Submission ==> "

        Note: Modifications become effective at the next monitor startup.

   For more information, see BS2000 Default Message Codes - Defaults for BS2000 (2).

This section covers the following topics:

- Fields: Defaults for BS2000 (1)

- BS2000 Default Message Codes - Defaults for BS2000 (2)

### Fields: Defaults for BS2000 (1)

BS2000-specific fields on the Defaults for BS2000 (1) screen are explained in the following table.

Note
New default settings become effective after the next Monitor startup and are then used as defaults for new job definitions.

Field | Meaning
--- | ---
End-of-Job Checking:
Highest Severity Code accepted as ok | This value is the maximum allowed severity code for messages matching the default message code table. If a message is defined without a severity code, a match always means `job not OK`.
SYSOUT Handling:
Make the SYSOUT Collection File shareable | Entire Operations creates its own SYSOUT Collection File for each BS2000 job running under control of Entire Operations. Enter `Y` if the Entire Operations Monitor should make these files shareable; enter `N` if not.
Append the SYSLST File(s) to the SYSOUT File | Enter `Y` if the SYSLST files created by a job should be appended to the Entire Operations SYSOUT Collection File; enter `N` if not.
Monitor Job Variables:
Remove internal Monitor Job Variables | Enter `Y` to remove internal Monitor job variables immediately after End-of-Job checking. This creates fewer catalog entries. Enter `N` to remove variables during standard job deactivation. Note This setting affects only Monitor job variables which were internally created by the Entire Operations Monitor.
Escapes:
Activation | Activation escape character. This escape character is used as the prefix for Natural code lines and symbols to be replaced at activation time. Note Existing dynamic JCL might become invalid after changing this escape character.
Submission | Submission escape character. This escape character is used as the prefix for symbols to be replaced at submission time. Note Existing dynamic JCL might become invalid after changing this escape character.

### BS2000 Default Message Codes - Defaults for BS2000 (2)

The following BS2000 message codes can be contained in the message code table on the Defaults for BS2000 (2) screen:

Message Code | Message Text
--- | ---
BLS0520 | Access error on program library. PLAM-AMCB error code '(&00)' and system error code '(&01)'. In system mode /HELP-MSG PLA (&00).
CMD0005 | Operation name in input string not recognizable or missing.
CMD0186 | CMD0186 OPERATION NAME '(&00)' UNKNOWN.
CMD0205 | Error in preceding command or program and procedure step termination: commands will be ignored until /SET-JOB-STEP or /LOGOFF or /EXIT-JOB is recognized.
DMS05A9 | Second file name in command for COPY invalid or does not exist. Correct command.
DMS0936 | (Message not defined.)
EXC044F | Warning: PUBSPACE limit exceeded for user ID '(&00)' on PUBSET '(&01)'. Erase files no longer required. (See also the remark on Global Messages for Events Events below.)
EXC0733 | Unrecoverable termination error: task with TSN '(&00)' pended. Continue system run and take dump after shutdown.
EXC0734 | (Message not defined.)
EXC0735 | (Message not defined.)
EXC0736 | Abnormal task termination. Error code '(&00)': / Help-MSG (&00).
EXC0737 | (Message not defined.)
EXC0738 | (Message not defined.)
EXC0772 | (Message not defined.)
IDA0N45 | Dump desired? Reply (Y =user/area dump); Y, System = system dump; N = no).
IDA0N47 | Dump prohibited by /MODIFY-TEST-OPTIONS command.
IDA0N48 | Task/system settings prohibit dump.
IDA0N51 | Program interrupt at location '(&00)'.
IDA0N56 | Current system dump suppressed (duplicate).
JVS04A1 | Syntax error in JV command. Correct command.
NRTT201 | NRTT201 TASK TERMINATION DUE TO /(&00) COMMAND The task termination was caused by a /CANCEL-JOB resp. /CANCEL or a /SHUTDOWN command.
SSM2052 | Procedure file '(&00)' cannot be opened. DMS error code '(&01)'. Command terminated. DMS error: /HELP-MSG-INFORMATION DMS(&01).

The following applies when using and checking message codes:

- If one of the BS2000 message codes listed in the table above appears in any BS2000 job SYSOUT, a job is treated as `not ok` without any special definition at the job level.

- If the option Job not ok, or execution error is marked with `Y` on the Global Messages for Events screen.

  - A global message and/or an event store notification is sent.

  - Note that a global message is also sent if a BS000 file allocation fails, for example due to the BS2000 message code `EXC044F`.

- The BS2000 message codes listed in the table above are in effect after the installation of Entire Operations. You can restore the default set of message codes supplied with Entire Operations at any time by using PF4 (Resto).

- The message code table can be completely empty. None of the mentioned BS2000 message codes would be checked by default in this case.

- Changes to message codes are propagated to a running Monitor immediately.

  Consider that faulty jobs may no longer be set to the status `not ok` when the message code table is modified.

## Defaults for z/OS

This section provides instructions for setting z/OS defaults.

To set defaults for z/OS

- Select z/OS from the selection window on the Default Setting (1) screen.

  For z/OS, a Defaults for z/OS screen like the example below appears:

       23/08/16                ***** Entire Operations *****                15:51:44
       Owner EXAMPLE               Defaults for z/OS
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       End-of-Job Checking
         These values apply, if nothing is specified for the End-of-Job Checking:
         Highest   Condition Code accepted as ok ==> C 0009
         = highest Severity  Code (see field help)
         Highest   User      Code accepted as ok ==> U ____
         IEF201I 'Terminated because of condition codes' accepted as ok ==> N

       End-of-Job Actions
         Spool Class to be set after Job Completion ==> ________

       Job Card
         These values will be inserted into the job card, if missing:
         MSGCLASS ==> ________  MSGLEVEL ==> ________

       Escapes: Activation ==> @ Submission ==> $

       Note: Modifications become effective at the next monitor startup.

      Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
            Help        End         Save                                      Menu

  The fields available on the screens are explained in Fields: Defaults for.

### Fields: Defaults for z/OS

The fields available for z/OS-specific default settings on the Defaults for z/OS screen are explained in the following table.

Note
New default settings become effective after the next Monitor startup and are then used as defaults for new job definitions.

Field | Meaning
--- | ---
End-of-Job Checking:
The values specified with the following three fields are used for checking completed jobs if no definition has been made at the job level:
Highest Condition Code (= highest Severity Code) | The value entered here is used for default checks of all step results for which no dedicated check was defined. If such a step result is higher than the value defined here, the job is treated as `not ok`. This value is the maximum allowed severity code for messages matching the Global Message Code Table. If a message is defined there without a severity code, a match always means `job not ok`.
Highest User Code accepted as ok | Corresponds to Highest Condition Code but checks for user-defined codes only.
IEF201I 'Terminated because of condition codes' accepted as ok | Applies to z/OS only. If `Y` is entered here, the occurrence of the message `EF201I ... - JOB TERMINATED BECAUSE OF CONDITION CODES` does not cause the job to be set to `not ok` automatically. All other implicit or explicit End-of-Job checks are not affected by this setting. This is a system-wide setting. For more information, see the section Defining and Managing End-of-Job (EOJ) Checking and Actions in the User's Guide. Default: `N`.
End-of-Job Actions:
Spool Class to be set after Job Completion | You can specify whether the spool class of a job is to be modified after completion. This applies to all jobs. Notes: Node-specific definitions override this default. Job-specific definitions override all others. A valid spool class indicates Entire Output Management where to find all information required to process job SYSOUT passed from Entire Operations. If you leave this field blank, the job output class remains unchanged.
Job Card:
MSGCLASS | Applies to z/OS only. You can complete or modify the job card for any job by adding values for MSGCLASS and MSGLEVEL here. The values specified here are inserted if not already in the job card.
MSGLEVEL
Escapes:
Activation | Activation escape character. This escape character is used as the prefix for Natural code lines and symbols to be replaced at activation time. Note Existing dynamic JCL might become invalid after changing this escape character.
Submission | Submission escape character. This escape character is used as the prefix for symbols to be replaced at submission time. Note Existing dynamic JCL might become invalid after changing this escape character.

## Defaults for UNIX and Windows

This section provides instructions for setting UNIX and Windows defaults.

Note
Specials for UNIX and Windows nodes can be defined on the Operating System Server (Node) Table screen; see also Special Definitions for a Node (UNIX and Windows).

To set defaults for UNIX or Windows

- Select UNIX from the selection window on the Default Setting (1) screen.

  Or:
  Select Windows from the selection window on the Default Setting (1) screen.

  A Defaults for UNIX or Defaults for Windows screen (respectively) like the example below appears:

       20.07.18                ***** Entire Operations *****                15:44:59
       Owner EXAMPLE                 Defaults for UNIX
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       End-of-Job Checking
         Highest Exit Code accepted as ok   ==> 0_________

       Escapes: Activation ==> @ Submission ==> ¬

       Note: Modifications become effective at the next monitor startup.

       Command => ____________________________________________________________

      Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
            Help        End         Save                                      Menu

  The fields available on the screen are explained in Fields: Defaults for UNIX and Windows.

### Fields: Defaults for UNIX and Windows

The fields on the Defaults for UNIX and Defaults for Windows screen are explained in the following table.

Note
New default settings become effective after the next Monitor startup and are then used as defaults for new job definitions.

Field | Meaning
--- | ---
End-of-Job Checking:
Highest Exit Code accepted as ok | The value entered here is the maximum exit code which is accepted as `ok`.
Escapes:
Activation | Activation escape character. This escape character is used as the prefix for Natural code lines and symbols to be replaced at activation time. Note Existing dynamic JCL might become invalid after changing this escape character.
