You can perform CICS® and DBCTL startup from a TSO terminal or an MVS™ console. Before DBCTL can begin accepting transactions, several things must happen, as shown in Figure 10. The numbers in the figure and corresponding step numbers indicate the sequence of events.
The / used in these commands is explained in Operator communication with DBCTL -- overview. See Restarting DBCTL for information on restart options.
When the start has completed, the following message is issued:
DFS994I rtype START COMPLETED
where rtype is the type of start requested (COLD, WARM, or EMERGENCY).
Step 1 can be done before, during, or after steps 2 and 3. Steps 2 and 3 must be done in the sequence described, and all three steps must be completed successfully before step 4 can begin.
