OPSVIEW Control Option › How to Start a Copy of the Product (Option 4.6) › Fields on the Start Panel

Fields on the Start Panel

The fields on the Start CA OPS/MVS panel are:

Procname

The name of the member in SYS1.PROCLIB that contains the JCL for starting CA OPS/MVS. This field is required.

Subsystem ID

A z/OS subsystem ID (SSID) for the copy of CA OPS/MVS to use. The default value is OPSS. This field is optional.

Note: The character string OPS is not coded as the CA OPS/MVS message ID. Instead, CA OPS/MVS dynamically forms the message ID from the first, second, and last characters of the SSID for that copy of the product. If you are starting a test version of CA OPS/MVS, CA recommends that you specify OPST as the value for the Subsystem ID field. If you do so, the message ID of the messages the test version issues will be OPT, because O, P, and T are the first, second, and last characters of the SSID.

Loadlib

The name of the load module library containing the CA OPS/MVS programs.

SUB=MSTR

A value indicating whether you want to start CA OPS/MVS under the master subsystem. If yes, type Y. If no, type N. If you type N, CA OPS/MVS starts under the primary job entry subsystem (JES). This field is required.

Reusable

A value indicating whether you want to start CA OPS/MVS as a reusable address space. If yes, type Y. If no, type N. Your system must be at z/OS Version 1 Release 9 or higher and you must have specified REUSASID(YES) in the active DIAGxx logical PARMLIB member to allow reusable ASIDs.

MEMBER

(Optional) The two-character suffix that is to be appended to the OPSxPA string to form the name of the CA OPS/MVS initial CLIST or REXX EXEC.

MAINPRM

(Optional) The character string that is passed to CA OPS/MVS as part of the z/OS PARM string and is available for use through the OPSINFO("MAINPRM") function. You may use it in any way you want to pass user-defined values to the product.
