Hi, Lizette. I appreciate the link for the OPS/MVS list. I will be subscribing.
I agree, the OPS/MVS crew has been very supportive. I try not to pester them for local coding stuff if I can avoid it. I don't want to be "that guy", where everyone on the support team groans when they see my name on a PMR, you know? So, I asked here first. If I had a test region to play with, I would not have even done this; I'd have hacked away until I got what I needed. But, management wants this NOW... I have the rules in place for the timing. It is done in a STATMGR rule. The logic for when I want to bring down the three IDMS regions is solid. The command is being issued at the right time to invoke a REXX exec. It's the REXX exec that's crap. The problem I have is how to actually get them down, and folks have provided several options for me. The two most promising are the batch job and the REXX execs. I know the region names, but would prefer to not have to specify them, so looping through the WTORs and responding to the IDMS ones is the way to go. You mentioned the SSM table. I had not considered that. (I'm sure everyone will be shocked to hear that I'm not real comfy in this product.) If someone has a spiffy way for me to tell SSM to change the desired state to DOWN, that would work for me also. In short, the scheduling is not the problem. I'm already doing something at the right time. Just not doing the right thing. :-) Cheers,,,Steve Steven F.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Steve, There is a List for OPS/MVS it can be joined by sending an email to [email protected] Or send an email to Bob Stark to find out how to join Bob Stark <[email protected]> Second, the support team at CA OPS/MVS has always provided excellent assistance whenever I had a need to craft an OPS/MVS process to handle an event. In fact they may already have such a process written that you could get. There is also a group on the MYCA Community that could also provide assistance. If you could provide your process. There are timer rules that could be used to control, date, time of shutdown etc. You can put events in the STC Action table to do the shutdown. Many avenues. Can you provide a little more detail on the process. For example, if prior to an IPL you need to have IDMS Shutdown one hour in advanced, Or when it is 10pm Wed we need to shutdown IDMS. Understanding your requirements will make it easier to provide a more targeted answer.
