Starting and Stopping the Command Receiver

The command receiver is controlled by SA z/OS. It is defined as a non-MVS subsystem. Unless changed, the name of the command receiver subsystem is CMDRCVR.

To start the command receiver, issue the INGREQ REQ=START command against the appropriate subsystem, for example:

INGREQ CMDRCVR/APL/SYS1/ REQ=START

You should not have to start the command receiver in normal circumstances, because it should start automatically when the SA z/OS agent registers with the automation manager.

To stop the command receiver, issue the INGREQ REQ=STOP command against the appropriate subsystem, for example:

INGREQ CMDRCVR/APL/SYS1 REQ=STOP

To see the list of VOSTs used by the command receiver(s) use the INGRCRCV QUERY command.
