Starting and stopping HTTP subtasks

An HTTP Server subtask and an HTTP Client subtask run the transmission of data between the scheduler and the IBM Z Workload Scheduler Agents on the distributed side. These subtasks automatically start at controller startup.

At anytime you can start or stop a subtask while IBM Z Workload Scheduler is running by using the MODIFY command. You can enter this command from a multiple console support (MCS) console or from a program such as the spool display and search facility (SDSF). In both cases, the terminal or console operator must have the required authority to enter operator commands.

Enter the MODIFY command as follows:

/F procname,modifyoption

where:

procname

Is the IBM Z Workload Scheduler controller JCL procedure name.

modifyoption

Can be one of the following:

S=HTT

Start both the HTTP Client and HTTP Server subtasks.

P=HTT

Stop both the HTTP Client and HTTP Server subtasks.
