Agent Technology does not depend on any other CA Common Service. Once installed and configured, it can be started any time after UNIX System Services (USS) and TCP/IP have started. None of the z/OS-based agents can be started until Agent Technology for z/OS has started, and all of its services have properly initialized.
Use the Common Services CAIPROC library member AWSTART to start the Agent Technology services. It usually takes 1-2 minutes (after the AWSTART job ends) for the AT services to initialize. Also note that starting the AT Services under z/OS only starts the services and not the Agents themselves.
Each of the agent instances must be individually started and stopped in z/OS.
This action usually occurs within the application being monitored, or through an MVS console command.
Use the Common Services CAIPROC library member AWSTOP to stop the Agent Technology services.
