Parameter

Description

Act

ARMELMNT

The name that represents Control‑M as an element of automatic restart management (ARM).

When this parameter is enabled, the operating system automatically restarts Control‑M after an unexpected failure, using ARM.

When specifying an element name, apply the following rules:

  • The name can be from 1 through 12 characters. Control‑M appends to this name the 4-character system identifier on which the element originally registered, which makes this name unique across the Sysplex.
  • Valid characters are uppercase alphabetic characters, the digits 0 through 9, and the following symbols: $, #, @ and underscore (_).
  • The first character may not be a number.
  • Element names that start with A through I, and SYS, are reserved for use by IBM.

Valid values are:

  • N or NO or '  ' (Blank) – ARM for Control‑M is not enabled. The operating system does not attempt to restart Control‑M if it fails unexpectedly. Default.
  • policy_name – Name of the ARM policy. ARM for Control‑M is enabled. The operating system attempts to restart Control‑M if it fails unexpectedly.

This element name must exactly match the ELEMENT and ELEMENT_NAME ARM policy parameters, or the operating system will use the default policy. For more information, see the section on ARM support in the Control‑M chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
