Starting a source server

When you start a source server, you start an address space, components, and services.

About this task

Starting the source server starts the address space that will connect to and read system logger log streams that contain changes captured from your source VSAM files. When you start a source server, you are also starting the components that allow transaction management and provide administration and monitoring activities. In addition, you start those services that are configured to start in the configuration file for the server.

Procedure

Start a source server by using one of the following methods:

Issue a console command to start the JCL procedure for the source server.
```
S procname
```
procname

The 1-8 character PROCLIB member name to be started. When you issue commands from the SDSF product, prefix all operator commands with the forward slash (/) character.
Submit the JCL.
Recommendation: Run Data Replication for VSAM as a started task in production environments, or in environments where performance is a concern, to ensure that it is given priority as a higher service class.
