Adding a Message Action Rule
Creating and Developing Rulesets and Rules
5–42 115415 NonStop NET/MASTER RMS Management and Operations Guide
Place the rule action exit NCL procedure in the NonStop NET/MASTER customized
procedure library. The name of the library is in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
startup parameter NCLCUSTSRC. Use the NonStop NET/MASTER MS SHOW
PARAM command on the OCS command line to display the value of NCLCUSTSRC.
You may place the procedure in your NonStop NET/MASTER user procedure library
if you are the only person who will use this ruleset with a message handler. Your
NonStop NET/MASTER MS user ID definition contains the name of this library.
To use a rule action exit NCL procedure, specify the name of your exit NCL procedure
in the NCL Exit Name field on the RMS : System Action panel. The procedure must
exist. Furthermore, for the procedure to be valid in this field, the procedure must
contain no compilation errors.
Registering the Message
Action Rule as a Member of
a Message Group Rule
You can register the rule as a member of a message group rule on the RMS : System
Action panel (page 5 of the message action rule definition panels). You can register
the rule for membership in up to five group rules that you have created within the
ruleset.

To make rule management easier, you should create the message group rules before
you register the rule as a member of those rules. If the message group rule exists, RMS
automatically updates the message group rule to include the rule as a member;
otherwise, you must manually update the message group rule.
Note For message group rules to be effective, you must also ensure that the control options of the ruleset allow
them. You can enable the features using the Action Message Group field on the RMS : Control Options
Definition—Run Parms panel. See “Enabling or Disabling Ruleset Features” earlier in this section.
A message group rule is triggered when all its members are triggered within a certain
timeframe. You can specify a time interval (trigger life) within which the rule is
regarded by the message group rule as having been triggered.
