START admtproc command

The START admtproc command starts the scheduler that is specified in the admtproc parameter.

This command can be started at the operator's console, or during Db2 startup or initialization. Once started, the administrative task scheduler is always up, unless it is stopped by a STOP command at the operator's console.

Each Db2 subsystem has a coordinated administrative task scheduler address space for starting a z/OS® started task procedure, therefore if there are many Db2 subsystems running on one z/OS, there is a separate administrative task scheduler with a separate name for each. Two instances of the same administrative task scheduler cannot run simultaneously. To avoid starting up a duplicate administrative task scheduler, at startup the administrative task scheduler checks all of the address spaces for duplicate names. If another address space with the same name is already running, the administrative task scheduler that is starting up will immediately shut down with a console error message. The administrative task scheduler can only check the address spaces in the same system, but not the entire sysplex.

Environment

This command can be issued only from a z/OS console.
