Activating, deactivating, or displaying the status of the action message retention facility

Use the CONTROL M,AMRF command to change or display the status of the action message retention facility. You can enter the command from a console with master authority.

The AMRF parameter on the INIT statement in the CONSOLxx parmlib member controls whether or not the system starts the action message retention facility at IPL. If the AMRF parameter is not coded, the action message retention facility is active. Use the CONTROL M command to stop or restart the facility once the system is active.

The syntax of the command is as follows:

 
K M[,AMRF={Y|N}]
    |,REF

The parameters are:

M

Indicates message processing by the message retention facility.

AMRF=

The status of the action message retention facility is to be modified for all systems in the sysplex.

Y

The action message retention facility is to become active.

N

The action message retention facility is to be deactivated.

REF

Displays the current values of all the operands on the K M command.

Example:

K M,AMRF=Y
