Defining a MOVE Group for Automatic Restart Manager

All resources with the same ARM element name should be linked to one Sysplex Application Group of nature MOVE (MOVE group).

An application's ARM element name is defined either during creation on the Define New Entry panel for applications or after creation via policy item APPLICATION INFO, in both cases in the MVS Automatic Restart Management Element Name field.

In order to ensure an application in a MOVE group has completely deregistered from ARM before the automation manager attempts to restart it, a Prepareavailable/WhenObservedDown (passive) relationship must be defined for each ARMed application in the MOVE group with the MOVE group defined as the supporting resource.

To make sure that the automation manager will start the applications linked to a MOVE group, the applications should not be in a HardDown status. The Start On IPL option should not be set to NO.
