Starting the CSL SCI

The system operator can start the CSL SCI in one of three ways: as a z/OS® started procedure, as JCL, or as a started procedure in an IMS control region.

You can start SCI in the following ways:

The system operator can use a z/OS started procedure. CSLSC000, a sample started procedure that is shipped with IMS, can be modified for your installation, or you can identify your own started procedure. To start an SCI address space with a started procedure, issue the z/OS START command as follows: S scijobname.scijobname is the job name of the SCI address space to be started.
The system operator can submit JCL that starts the started procedure.
The IMS control region can use a started procedure by using the SCIPROC parameter in the DFSCGxxx or DFSDFxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data sets. If there is no SCI address space active in the IMSplex, IMS will start the specified procedure.
