Running the data server

You are now ready to run the data server. Before you submit the JCL, ensure that the operational environment is set up properly.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the SCACLOAD library is APF authorized. If the SCACLOAD library is not APF authorized, you will receive a S047 abend when you attempt to run the data server. IMS libraries concatenated to SCACLOAD must also be APF authorized.
  2. Ensure that the user ID that the data server runs with has access and execute authority for the data sets that are referenced in the data server JCL. Contact your security administrator to verify the authorizations.
  3. Start the data server by submitting the data server job.

What to do next

To verify that the data server is operational, select the job while it is running. Look for the following message near the top of the listing:

CAC00103I DATA SERVER: V11.3 READY

To shut down the data server, you can use the z/OS® MTO interface and issue a STOP command. If you do not have MTO authority, cancel the data server job.
