IDMS Startup and Termination

This solution handles IDMS startup and termination.

At sites operating both Control-M and IDMS, the status of IDMS (up or down) impacts the start of jobs that run under Control-M. Therefore, for the production IDMS in the system, the site must maintain two prerequisite conditions indicating IDMS status – CTO-IDMS-UP STAT and CTO-IDMS-DOWN STAT.

These two conditions are updated by Control-O according to IDMS initialization and termination messages, and are used as prerequisite conditions for jobs run under Control-M that require IDMS status information.

Note: While startup or termination is in process—but not yet completed—the IOA environment considers IDMS as both "not up" and "not down." Therefore, IDMS not being up is not necessarily the same as IDMS being down, and vice versa.

Throughout this solution, IDMS C.V. stands for IDMS Central Version.
