INGREQ command

INGREQ is the main dialog for entering requests to be sent to the Automation Manager.

You can enter a request directly, through any of the available front ends or from the INGLIST panel with commands B (Start) or C (Stop). When not started directly, some of the input fields are prefilled.

The most important things on the panel are the resource name, the requested action (START or STOP) and the Restart option.

To start a resource, enter its resource name, START as the request and press Enter. To stop a resource, do the same but with STOP as the request.

You now see a verification panel:

The panel lists the resources that are affected by the action, the resources that votes are directly propagated to. A stop vote is propagated to the children resource RMFGAT/APL/AOC4. Yes (Y) under W column indicates that the vote is considered by SA z/OS as the "winning" vote, the highest priority vote on the resource.

Verify whether the list of affected resources is acceptable or not. If acceptable, press PF10 to send the request to the Automation Manager. It then takes the actions that you requested.
