Usage
The /START command is used to activate the objects specified (TMS, SYSTEM,
or ILS).
- TMS
- Specifies that the transport manager is to be started. The START
TMS command should be issued after the initial SET and DEFINE commands.
- SYSTEM
- Specifies that conversations to the specified systems are
to be started. This command may be required after a network outage
where the transport managers are up but there has been no network
connectivity. Specifying SYSTEM(ALL) causes start to be attempted for all systems not already
started or starting.
- ILS
- Specifies that an isolated log sender task is to be started.
gsgname specifies the 1- to 8-character name of the global service
group to be serviced by this instance of isolated log sender.
modename specifies the VTAM mode name to be used when allocating conversations
for a transfer request. If modename is not specified, the TMS default
mode name, TMDEFLT, is used.
- MAXCONV
- Specifies, for an ILS task, the maximum number of concurrent
data set transfers to be used to process one transfer request. The
most efficient value is highly dependent on network capacity and
routing, as well as on disk configurations and allocations on both
local and remote sites.
The default value is 2. The maximum value is 30.
