GTDBMON - SYSIN control statement processing

The following control statements are acceptable in the input stream. Commands and operands can start anywhere on the input record, except that the entire statement must be completed by column 71 of the input record. No continuation of a control statement is allowed. An input record that is blank in the first 71 positions and records containing an asterisk in the first character position are treated as comments. Comments can also be appended to control statements, leaving at least one blank character after the operand.

Note: In the following table, the single character in parentheses is the acceptable abbreviation for the command.
Table 1. GTDBMON SYSIN control statements
Command Short Form Purpose
QUERY (Q) Report on volume status in active TDMF migration sessions.

Operands are:

  • volume | group – Query the status of a volume or group.
  • copy | copying – Display volumes in copy phase.
  • wait | waiting – Display volumes that are suspended or waiting for confirmation.
  • inact | inactive – Display volumes that are complete, suspended, or waiting for confirmation.
  • refresh – Display volumes in refresh or synchronization phases.
  • active – Display volumes that are active.
  • complete – Display volumes that are complete or have been terminated.
TERMINATE volser (T) Migration of volume volser is terminated.
Note: If the volume is part of a migration group, and if the option terminate group on error is set for the volumes in this group, the TERMINATE command will terminate the entire group, exactly as would be the case in the TSO Monitor.

Once TDMF has entered the Approval Mode, the TERMINATE command will terminate the migration with the original target volume as the source volume. The TERMINATE command will have the same effect as APPROVE[Yes]. After the session has terminated, a new migration is required if you need to go back to the original source volume.
TERMINATE grpname   Migration of group grpname is terminated.
ALLOW volser (A) Migration of volume volser from one manufacturer’s mirroring technology to another manufacturers technology (for example, PPRC to SRDF) is confirmed.
CONFIRM volser (F) Migration of volume volser is initiated.
Note: If the volume is part of a migration group, the CONFIRM volser command will be rejected. In this case the CONFIRM grpname command is required.
CONFIRM grpname   Migration of group grpname is initiated.
OVA   Report on OVA jobs status.

Operands are:

  • Listjobs - display the included volumes and registration status for all active or pending OVA jobs.
SYNCHRONIZE volser secs (Z) The Synchronization target of volume volser is set to secs seconds.

The time operand, secs must be a one to 16 character numeric string with a value not less than five or greater than 999.

Note: If the volume is part of a migration group, the SYNCHRONIZE volser secs command will be rejected. In this case, the SYNCHRONIZE grpname secs command is required.
SYNCHRONIZE grpname secs   The Synchronization target of group grpname is set to secs seconds.
SUSPEND volser (S) Migration of volume volser is suspended.
SUSPEND grpname   Migration of group grpname is suspended.
CONTINUE volser (C) Migration of volume volser is continued.
CONTINUE grpname   Migration of group grpname is continued.
PROMPT volser (P) Synchronization of volume volser is confirmed.
Note: This command will be rejected if the volume is part of a migration group.
PROMPT grpname   Synchronization of group grpname is confirmed.
REINIT volser (I) Reinitialize the migration of volume volser.
HALT volser (H) Halt all new Offline Volume Access (OVA) Registrations of volume volser.
HALT grpname (H) Halt all new Offline Volume Access (OVA) Registrations of group grpname.
END volser (E) End the Perpetual Point-In-Time (PPIT) processing of volume volser.
END grpname (E) End the Perpetual Point-In-Time (PPIT) processing of group grpname.
RECYCLE volser (R) Recycle a Perpetual Point-In-Time (PPIT) process of volume volser.
RECYCLE grpname (R) Recycle a Perpetual Point-In-Time (PPIT) process of group grpname.
