Running Multiple Monitors Using Sysplex Support

Sysplex support enables Control‑D to run multiple decollation and printer monitors on different images of a Sysplex environment.

In the event that one of the monitors fails, the main control monitor attempts to reactivate the failed monitor according to the parameters in the CTDPLEX member of the Control‑D PARM library. If the CTDPLEX member is not present in the Control‑D PARM library, all monitors are run on one image without an attempt to reactivate the failed monitor.

The CTDPLEX member contains a separate section for both the decollation and print monitors, each of which contains a separate entry for each monitor. Each entry is comprised of a restart flag and a set of MVS image names, listed in the order that they are used when reactivation is attempted.

Each monitor entry must be at least 10 characters long, using the syntax shown in the following table:

Table 126 Syntax for Monitor Entries

Value

1

Restart flag. Valid values:

R - Restart.

N or empty (null) - No restart.

Empty (null) character

3–80

MVS image names. The first image name must begin in column 3. Each image name must be 8 characters. Use spaces to separate multiple image names from each other.

If you are not using SYSPLEX for Control‑D, the parameter ENABLE in the CTDPLEX member of CTDPARM must be set to 'N'.
