Step 27D: Start and Stop the System Automation Data Store

The System Automation data store runs in a Java™ virtual machine in a USS process. To start the data store, run a started task by using the sample JCL procedure ING.SINGSAMP(INGDBJCL). To stop it, use the z/OS® stop command.

You also need to make the System Automation data store highly available. To do so, define the System Automation data store as an APL with category INGDB in the policy. The data store must run once per SAplex. For that purpose, the new application category INGDB is introduced. Instead of defining the data store policy yourself, you can also import the data store sample policy from *BASE via component System automation data store.
