If the CICS® VR server fails, it restarts automatically, up
to a maximum of six times. If this limit is exceeded, the automatic restart
mechanism is disabled and CICS VR terminates. You can restart the CICS VR server.
When you have resolved the problem, you can restart the CICS VR server
by using the VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE command. When the CICS VR server is restarted, the following
message is displayed on the operator console:
Figure 1. VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE results DWW014I CICSVR SERVER ADDRESS SPACE IS NOW ACTIVE.
VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE is also needed to restart the CICS VR server
after the VARY SMS,CICSVR,TERMINATESERVER command is issued. Also, the CICSVR_INIT
parameter in the SYS1.PARMLIB IGDSMSxx member must be set to YES for successful
completion of the VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE command.
Note: If a failure occurs
during the initialization of the CICS VR server address space, automatic
restart is not performed.
