Starting IBM Z Database Assistant

Start the Node server before starting the Liberty server.

Before you begin

This task must be completed by the ID that starts the IBM Z Database Assistant Node.js and Akira Liberty servers.

About this task

The Node server must be up and running in order to support the Liberty processes that execute on startup.

Procedure

To start IBM Z Database Assistant from a JCL procedure:

  1. To start the Node server from a proc, use the JCL contained in the file hlq.SAURSAMP(AURND).
    To start the Node server, use the following z/OS® SDSF command:
    /S AURND

    where AURND is the default name for the proc.

    See the comments inside AURND and AURNDP for instructions on how to customize them for your environment.

    Note: When starting the IBM Z Database Assistant processes from JCL, the processes will no longer run under the OMVS subsystem type. Instead, the subsystem type will be changed to STC.

    Verify that your WLM settings are appropriate for these started tasks when running under the STC subsystem type.

  2. To start the Liberty server from a proc, use the JCL contained in member AURLBTY. Modify the CONFIG_DIR variable within the proc to point to the ZDBA home directory.
    Then start the proc with the following command:
    /S AURLBTY

    where AURLBTY is the default name for the proc.

    See the comments in the JCL for instructions on how to customize the JCL for your environment.

(Optional) To start IBM Z Database Assistant from USS:

  1. If you want to start IBM Z Database Assistant from USS rather than a JCL procedure, go to the $ZDBA_HOME/scripts directory and run the start_all_servers script to start the IBM Z Database Assistant user interface and services.
    /start_all_servers.sh
    Note: This script starts both the Liberty and Node servers.
