Defining System Options in Parmlib › Sample Parmlib Members › BESPCMDS

BESPCMDS

The BESPCMDS parmlib member contains operator console commands that are processed by CA Tape Encryption before starting the actual shutdown process. Any MVS, JES, and CA Tape Encryption console command can be specified in this member. If no commands are needed at shutdown, $NULL can be coded as the value for the ShutdownCommands attribute in the ParmlibDirectory section of BESPARMS.

To define the desired shutdown console commands, use the CMD or COMMAND attributes under the ShutdownCommands parmlib section part of the BESPCMDS member.

Example: Shutdown commands

This example shows the shutdown commands:

<ShutdownCommands>
	CMD='D U,TAPE,ONLINE'
	CMD='&BES DISPLAY PARMLIB,M,H'
	CMD='&BES DISPLAY STATUS'
	COMMAND='D A,L'
	COMMAND='&BES D A'

Note: The use of the subsystem symbolic &BES in this example ensures that the BES command is processed by the current CA Tape Encryption subsystem that will be shut down.
