Starting and stopping the Policy Agent

You can start the Policy Agent in any of the following ways:

• From the z/OS® shell

  If you use the shell, start the Policy Agent in a background shell session by specifying a trailing & on the command line.

• As a started task
• Using the COMMNDxx member of parmlib

  Using the COMMNDxx member of parmlib enables Policy Agent to be automatically started when the system is IPLed. For more information about COMMNDxx, see z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.

• In some cases, using the TCP/IP AUTOLOG statement

  For more information, see AUTOLOG considerations.
