Start and Stop Definitions (INGUSS Command)

If the resource is to be controlled by traditional MVS commands, this could be done in the same way as for all other MVS applications.

Issuing commands in the z/OS UNIX environment is done by specifying the INGUSS command in the start or stop definitions for the resource. z/OS UNIX and MVS commands can be mixed in different shutdown passes.

Note: INGUSS can be used only if the primary JES is available. Therefore, z/OS UNIX resources using INGUSS need a HASPARENT dependency to JES. Most z/OS UNIX applications have this dependency. If you want to issue prestart commands, an additional PREPAVAILABLE dependency is necessary.

If you want to switch the start of your USS related subsystems from a BPXBATCH based started task to an INGUSS command call, the appropriate INGUSS command patterns vary for different cases. See BPXBATCH related considerations in INGUSS command in IBM Z® System Automation Programmer's Reference.
