Step 22F: Start and Stop the System Automation Info Broker

Start the System Automation Info Broker

The System Automation Info Broker is automatically started by the NetView initialization. You can check in the Netlog to see whether it's activated.

If you have stopped System Automation Info Broker or you have not set to automatically start it by the NetView initialization (that is, TASK.INGTKDST.INIT is not set to Y in the NetView style sheet member), you can manually start it with the following command.

START TASK=INGTKDST

Verify whether System Automation Info Broker is running

To verify whether System Automation Info Broker is running, you can use either of the following ways:

• Issue the following command on NetView to check the task status. If the command output data contains INGTKDST STATUS: ACTIVE, it indicates that the Info Broker is running.

  LIST TASK=INGTKDST

  
• If debug is enabled (DEBUG = NO) in the INGKINIT member, you can check the Netlog. If messages are sent, it indicates that the Info Broker is running.
  

  Or if the hear beat is still working, it indicates that the Info Broker is running.

  

Stop the System Automation Info Broker

To stop System Automation Info Broker, you can use the following three staggered stop commands. Use the force or even immediate shutdown commands, if normal shutdown is not working.

• Normal shutdown. It can take up to 30s to shut down the Info Broker.

  STOP TASK=INGTKDST

• Force shutdown.

  STOP FORCE=INGTKDST

• Immediate shutdown.

  STOP IMMED=INGTKDST
