GSM manages dialogs with the operator, and ensures synchronization between all monitors in CTMPLEX. Operator-modified commands must be issued to GSM only. GSM then passes relevant commands to all LSMs, saves the current working profile, and provides the profile to new LSMs.
Table 122 Operator Commands
Operator Command |
Description |
---|---|
S CONTROLM |
Initially start the CONTROLM monitor on any system. The monitor becomes either a GSM or LSM monitor depending on whether there are other CONTROLM monitors of the same CTMPLEX. |
F CONTROLM |
Issue a command to Control‑M CTMPLEX. May be issued on the system where GSM runs. |
P CONTROLM |
Stop any LSM (when issued on the system where an LSM runs) or stop the entire CTMPLEX (when issued on the system where the GSM runs). |
P LOCAL |
Stop an LSM started by the S CONTROLM.LOCAL operator command. |
Table 123 Operator Command Options
Option |
Description |
---|---|
BALANCE |
Activates or inactivates a Work Balancing mode, overriding the value of parameter BALANCEM (specified in the CTMPLEX initialization member). Valid values are: YES – Activate Work Balancing mode. NO – Deactivate Work Balancing mode. |
STOPPLEX |
Stops all LSM monitors. The GSM monitor continues working in regular (not CTMPLEX) mode. |
Note: The stop operator command (P CONTROLM) issued for a GSM monitor stops all CONTROLM monitors of the corresponding environment. The stop command issued for an LSM stops that LSM only. |
|
STOPGSM |
Stops the GSM monitor. Valid values are: system_identifier – If a system identifier is specified, the LSM monitor of the corresponding system (Sysplex member) becomes the new GSM. ' ' (Blank) – If a system identifier is not specified, the first LSM that detects that the GSM has shut down becomes the new GSM. |
LISTPLEX |
Displays information about all monitors (GSM and LSMs) of the CTMPLEX. |
STARTPLEX |
Resumes CTMPLEX processing after environmental errors related to the CTMPLEX Coupling facility structure occur. After such errors, CTMPLEX stops all LSMs and the GLM continues working in standalone mode until the STARTPLEX command is issued. |
WHOGLOBAL |
Displays information about the GSM. This is the only CTMPLEX command valid for local monitors (LSMs). |
DUMPPLEX |
Issues a diagnostic dump (to any of SYS1.DUMPxx datasets) in order to obtain the contents of the CTMPLEX Coupling facility structure. |
NEWPLEX |
Enables dynamic refreshing of CTMPLEX parameters |
