Test the STATEMAN Rules Packet

To help ensure that the rules in the STATEMAN rules packet set the CURRENT_STATE columns correctly in your started task table (STCTBL), complete the following steps:

  1. Issue z/OS commands to start and stop the started tasks that are defined in the table.
  2. Verify that the current states are DOWN when the tasks are actually stopped and UP when the tasks are initialized completely.
  3. Because SSM is running in PASSIVE mode, check that the desired states change along with the current states.
