Starting the logon manager

To start the logon manager, issue the START command START procname, where procname is the name of the logon manager JCL procedure. The logon manager can also run as a job. If you want to run it as a job, modify the logon manager JCL and the start procedure to conform to your installation standards for such jobs.

You must place JCL for the logon manager in SYS1.PROCLIB or an equivalent library with a member name procname of your choice. Following is a sample of the required JCL:

//name     PROC MEMBER=partitioned data set member name,
                MAXSUBA=value
//GO       EXEC PGM=ELMNGR,PARM='MEMBER=&MEMBER,MAXSUBA=&MAXSUBA'
//ELMDEFDS DD   DSN=partitioned dataset name,DISP=SHR

Note: The quotation marks are required around the PARM field of the EXEC statement.

name: Optional. If specified, it is usually the same as the member name procname of this JCL procedure.
ELMNGR: The name of the logon manager load module.
ELMDEFDS: The required DD name of the DD statement for the partitioned data set that contains the logon manager configuration definition.
MEMBER: The 1 to 8 character name of the member of the ELMDEFDS partitioned data set that contains the logon manager configuration definition.
MAXSUBA: Specifies the maximum number of network subareas that can be defined to the logon manager. Valid values are in the range 1 – 511. The default is 1. The number specified must be at least as great as the number of network subareas defined in the logon manager configuration definition.
