Automatic Restart Manager planning
This is part of the larger task of customizing your z/OS® environment.
IBM® Integration Bus for z/OS allows you to register a component to the Automatic Restart Manager (ARM).
When customizing a component,
you register it with ARM by editing the following environment variables
in the component profile:
| Description | Name |
|---|---|
Switch that determines whether ARM is used
(YES or NO). |
MQSI_USE_ARM |
| ARM element name | MQSI_ARM_ELEMENTNAME |
| ARM element type | MQSI_ARM_ELEMENTTYPE |
By default components do not register to ARM; the initial
setting is MQSI_USE_ARM=NO. You can override this
default value by setting MQSI_USE_ARM=YES and providing
an ARM element name and type.
MQSI_ARM_ELEMENTNAME must
be a maximum of eight characters in length, because IBM Integration Bus adds a prefix of SYSWMQI.
For example, if you supply the value MQP1BRK to ARM_ELEMENTNAME,
the element you define in your ARM policy is SYSWMQI_MQP1BRK.
To
enable automatic restart you must also:
- Set up an ARM couple data set.
- Define the automatic restart actions that you want z/OS to perform in an ARM policy.
- Start the ARM policy.
The following manuals provide detailed information about
ARM couple data sets, including samples:
