Operation and Control › Starting the XCOMPLEX Worker Server

Starting the XCOMPLEX Worker Server

Normally the XCOMPLEX Admin Server is brought up first, then the XCOMPLEX Worker Servers, although this is not a requirement.

The XCOMPLEX Worker Servers connect to the XCOMPLEX Admin Server automatically if the TYPE=ADMIN destination member is defined in the XCOMCNTL data set in the server JCL and included in the START member. If the XCOMPLEX Admin Server is not up when the XCOMPLEX Worker Server is brought up, the XCOMPLEX Worker Server retries the connection every 2 minutes for up to an hour. The connection can also be made manually by enabling the dest member for the XCOMPLEX Admin Server and issuing a CNOS modify command to the XCOMPLEX Admin Server.

To start a CA XCOM Data Transport XCOMPLEX Worker Server, enter one of the following commands on the z/OS console (or any TSO/ISPF or NETVIEW session) where you are authorized to invoke z/OS system commands:

START XCOMA

S XCOMA

Several informational messages are displayed when CA XCOM Data Transport is started, as shown in the following example:
