Starting the CSL OM

The system operator can start the CSL OM three ways: using a z/OS® started procedure, or by submitting JCL, or by using a started procedure in an IMS control region.

You can start OM in the following ways:

The system operator can use a z/OS started procedure. For example, CSLOM000, a sample started procedure that is shipped with IMS, can be modified for your installation, or you can identify your own started procedure. To start an OM address space with a started procedure, issue the z/OS START command as follows: S omjobname
omjobname is the job name of the OM address space to be started.
The system operator can submit JCL that starts the started procedure.
The IMS control region can use a started procedure by using the OMPROC parameter in the DFSCGxxx or DFSDFxxx member of the IMS PROCLIB data sets. If there is no OM address space active in the IMSplex, IMS will start the specified procedure.
