Control the VTAM ACB of a Resource

Some resources have ACBs. The ACBs must be available before these resources can start successfully. The ACB Name field enables you to invoke the following actions automatically during resource startup and shutdown:

• The ACB is activated by the following command before the resource is started:

  VARY NET,ACT,ID=acb_name
  

• The ACB is inactivated by the following command if the resource is stopped successfully:

  VARY NET,INACT,ID=acb_name,IMMED
  

To control the VTAM ACB of a resource, specify the name of the ACB in the ACB Name field.
