Start and Stop the Event Management Processes

A CCS Event Management server is started using the CNSMPROC member NSMEMSTR. It can be run as a batch job or a started task. Run it as a started task in production. This job starts four daemons (caiopr, logrdr, ca_calendar, and stardaemon) associated with Event Management by invoking the emstart script. The catrapd daemon is not started by default. Edit the script /cai/nsmem/opr/scripts/emstart by uncommenting the 'unicntrl start snmp' command to start the catrapd daemon. Customize the script so that you start only those components that you want to use. Comment out the components that you do not want to use.

The Event Management daemons are stopped using CNSMPROC member NSMEMSTP by invoking the emstop script. NSMEMSTP can be run as a batch job or a started task. Run it as a started task in production. Edit the script /cai/nsmem/opr/scripts/emstop so that it stops the same processes that the emstart script starts.

Check the status of this job by referring to STDOUT and STDERR HFS files for the job. Do not rely on the job return codes for evidence of successful completion.

The user ID assigned to these jobs is assigned UID 0 and has access to BPX.DAEMON, BPX.SUPERUSER, and BPX.SERVER facilities.
