Changing the OSS Subsystem Configuration
Checking the Version of the OSS Monitor
When the OSS Monitor is running, you can use the SCF VERSION command to
determine the product-version information for the running copy of the OSS Monitor. For
example, if you enter the following SCF commands:
ASSUME PROCESS $ZPMON
VERSION
the system displays basic product-version information for the running OSS subsystem.
The use of product-version information is described in Gathering Version Information
About OSS Files on page 11-1.
The syntax of the SCF VERSION command and an example appear under VERSION
SUBSYS, VERSION MON, and VERSION PROCESS Commands on page 12-86.
Changing the OSS Subsystem Configuration
If the OSS Monitor is currently running, you can change the configuration of the OSS
Monitor in the ZOSSPARM database file by using the SCF ALTER SUBSYS command.
You can change:
•
The timeout value used for requests to an OSS name server
•
The default spooler location assigned when no REPORT attribute is configured for
a fileset
•
The default processor in which the FSCK utility is started when the subsystem
needs to run it and either no processor is configured for the fileset or the processor
configured for the fileset is unavailable
•
The name of the Guardian disk volume that contains the program files to be used
for the CVT utility, the OSS Monitor, and other OSS environment management
software
•
The setting for the automatic startup service
The syntax of the SCF ALTER SUBSYS command and an example appear under
ALTER SUBSYS, ALTER MON, and ALTER PROCESS Commands on page 12-32.
The changed values are effective immediately.
Enabling the Automatic Startup Service
To enable the automatic startup service:
1. Start the OSS Monitor without using the AUTOSTART option. See Starting the
OSS Monitor on page 2-7.
2. Use the SCF ALTER command to set the DESIREDSTATE attribute to STARTED
for all filesets and servers that are to be automatically started. See ALTER
