How to Specify the Start Mode

You can specify the start mode using two methods. Use the following matrix to help you understand the resulting mode when more than one method is used at the same time.

• Define a CICS System Initialization Table (SIT) INITPARM for the program GSVCGSVS by adding the following SIT parameter:

  INITPARM=(GSVCGSVS='GSVI=tran,USERID=userid,START=start,SSID=ssid')
  

  tran

  Specifies the transaction that was defined with the initial program GSVCGSVI. By Default, the transaction ID is GSVI. Specifying an asterisk (*) causes the use of the transaction ID GSVI.

  userid

  Specifies the user ID to be associated with the GSVI transaction. Specifying an asterisk (*) causes the transaction ID GSVI to start without a specific user ID.

  start

  Specifies the start type for the CICS data collector.

  Valid Values:

  • Asterisk (*) indicates a warm start.
  • WARM indicates a warm start.
  • COLD indicates a cold start.

  ssid

  Specifies the subsystem ID that the initial program GSVCGSVI connects to. Specifying an asterisk (*) causes the use of the default subsystem ID defined in module GSVBSSID.

• Manually enter the start mode as a parameter to the start transaction GSVS as follows:

  Syntax:

  GSVS <START=mode>
  

  mode

  * | WARM | COLD
