Using exits to customize automatic restart management processing

Several exits can influence how an element will be restarted:

To coordinate restarts with other automation packages, use the element restart exit (IXC_ELEM_RESTART) described in z/OS MVS Installation Exits.
To prepare a system that will be receiving additional workload from a failing system, use the workload restart exit (IXC_WORK_RESTART), described in z/OS MVS Installation Exits.
To prepare a system for the restart of an element or to prevent the restart of an element, use the event exit, described in z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide.
