How to check the Takeover file to see if it is good or not?

Answer

The INGAMS command is used to check Takeover file status.

Use option "B" to Show Details against the PAM




The status may be ENABLED, ENABLED - IO SUPPRESSED (meaning the takeover file is still allocated but the PAM has stopped writing to it because of an earlier I/O error), or DISABLED (meaning the takeover file has been deallocated and the manager has stopped writing to it as a result of the operator selecting to DISABLE the takeover file).



Here is some information from the SA Manuals on the Takeover file:
