There are several parameters you can choose to determine where, under what circumstances, and how many times, Control-M is to be restarted. Some of these restart parameters are described in the following table:
Table 120 Restart Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
TARGET_SYSTEM |
Systems on which Control-M can be restarted in a cross-system restart. |
ELEMENT |
Element name that represents Control-M. This must exactly match the ARMELMNT CTMPARM parameter. |
RESTART_ATTEMPTS |
Maximum number of times that the operating system should attempt to restart Control-M. This limit prevents the operating system from continually restarting an element that is recursively terminating. |
TERMTYPE |
Specifies under which condition the operating system should restart Control-M. Valid values are:
|
RESTART_METHOD |
Specifies the command text that the operating system is to use to restart the element. The statement RESTART_METHOD (BOTH,PERSIST) indicates that the operating system is to use the command text that previously started Control-M. When setting up an ARM policy, do not use this parameter. For more information on when to use this parameter, see Automatic Restart Management and Control-M Failure. |
To obtain information about elements of the automatic restart manager while the system is active, you can issue the D XCF,ARMSTATUS,DETAIL MVS operator command. For more information about this command, see the discussion about displaying cross system coupling facility (XCF) information, in the IBM manual MVS System Commands.
