To participate in automatic restart management,
- Your system must be running supported versions of
z/OS and JES2 or JES3.
- A system must be connected to an ARM couple data set with an active
automatic restart management policy.
- A batch job or started task must register with automatic restart
management. (That is, it must issue the IXCARM macro. See z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide
for more information on the IXCARM macro.)
Note: A batch
job or started task registered with automatic restart management
can only be restarted within the same JES XCF group. (That is, JES2
MAS or JES3 complex.)
- The XCF address space must have adequate authorization through
the z/OS® Security Server (RACF®) or an equivalent security
product.
In order to perform restarts, ARM must issue operator
commands from the XCF address space (XCFAS). You must be certain
that the XCFAS has enough authority to issue any commands required
to restart a failed element. If you are using ARM, IBM® recommends that your RACF support personnel define the XCFAS in the RACF STARTED class or the started
procedures table with the trusted attribute. See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
for information about using the STARTED class. See z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide
for information about using the started procedures table.
