General CA MIM Statements and Commands › (MIM) CTC Command-Clear CTC Error

(MIM) CTC Command-Clear CTC Error

If a CTC error occurs, then the CTC command lets you clear and reset the status of one or more CTC devices linked to the local system.

Scope: Local

This command has the following format:

CTC RESET[=device]
    SWITCH

RESET

(Optional) Clears the internal and external error indicators for one or more CTC devices.

By default, CA MIM clears these error indicators for all CTC devices on the local system. To clear these indicators only for a certain device, specify the address of the device in place of device.

SWITCH

(Optional) Switches the virtual control file to the next CTC device address.

Note: The CTC SWITCH command is not valid from a master system.

Usage Notes: CTC Command

• You must specify at least one parameter for this command.
• You may need to use this command if CA MIM detects an error condition associated with a CTC device. If you correct the hardware or software problem, then CA MIM does not automatically detect that the error state no longer exists. You can use the CTC command to clear the error state and resume CTC activity.
• You can use the DISPLAY PATH command to display a list of all CTC devices known to the local system.
• The CTC command usually is issued from a console, rather than from the CA MIM parameter data set.
• You must be authorized to issue system control commands to issue the CTC command. TSO users generally are not authorized to issue system control commands.

Examples: CTC Command

• To clear the error indicators for CTC device 02C1, issue this command:

  CTC RESET=02C1
  

• To take a currently active CTC device offline and migrate to the next available CTC path, issue this command:

  CTC SWITCH
