Starting a data server

When you start a Classic data server, you start all of the services defined in the configuration file for the Classic data server.

About this task

You can perform either of the steps described in the following procedure to start a Classic data server. All services start if the value of the INITIALTHREADS configuration parameter is greater than 0.

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.

Procedure

Issue a console command to start the JCL procedure for the Classic data server:
```
S procname
```
where procname is 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 a batch job.
