RESTART

Specifies that DFSMShsm should be automatically restarted for all DFSMShsm abnormal ends. The RESTART=‘(a, b)’ keyword specifies that DFSMShsm should be automatically restarted for all DFSMShsm abnormal ends. a specifies the name of the procedure to be started and b specifies any additional keywords or parameters to be passed to the procedure. For example, if the DFSMShsm procedure DFHSM01 is started for all automatic restarts, and EMERG is set to YES, then the RESTART keyword would be specified as: RESTART=‘(DFHSM01.HSM,EMERG=YES)’. Note that in this example HSM can be used by the operator as an identifier for DFHSM01.

Note: If you are accessing your CDSs in RLS mode, use the RESTART keyword so that DFSMShsm automatically restarts after shutting down due to SMS VSAM server error.

For a detailed example of using the RESTART keyword to restart DFSMShsm after an abnormal end, see Using the RESTART keyword to automatically restart DFSMShsm after an abnormal end.
