Open System Services Management and Operations Guide (G06.30+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

The initial value (set when the configuration database is created) is blank.
The value of NULL or blank indicates that the output file should be a file created in the same
volume and subvolume as the OSS Monitor OSSMON object file. The created file is a
file-code-180 file (a C language text file) with a file identifier that consists of the characters
ZX0 followed by the device label of the fileset processed by the command that launched the
FSCK utility:
$SYSTEM.SYSnn.ZX0devicelabel
where nn indicates the currently running system installation and devicelabel is the value
specified for the DEVICELABEL option of the fileset. If the file $SYSTEM.SYSnn.ZXdevicelabel
already exists, FSCK appends its new output to the existing file. The CTOEDIT command can
be used to convert the file-code-180 file to a file-code-101 EDIT file.
The value specified in this REPORT parameter can be overridden by using the REPORT option
of the SCF DIAGNOSE FILESET command.
If the REPORT option is omitted, the configured value is unchanged.
ZOSSVOL volume
specifies the name of the Guardian disk volume that contains the program files for the CVT
utility, the OSS Monitor, and other OSS components.
Disk volume names are not case-sensitive.
The initial value (set when the configuration database is created) is $SYSTEM.
If the ZOSSVOL option is omitted, the configured value is unchanged.
Considerations
• The ALTER SUBSYS command can be used only by super-group users (255,nnn).
• Changes take effect immediately and affect subsequent OSS Monitor SCF commands. The
subsystem does not need to be stopped and restarted.
• In the SCF object hierarchy, SUBSYS is the highest of the possible objects for this command.
• When you enter the SCF command ALTER SUBSYS, AUTOSTART AUTO, the OSS Monitor
immediately begins providing the service. This causes restart of any object configured for the
service if that object failed since the last system load and is not currently started.
• The AUTOSTART attribute of the subsystem can also be set by starting the OSS Monitor with
a PARAM value or RUN command line parameter of AUTOSTART AUTO or AUTOSTART
MANUAL. The value entered in the PARAM or command line takes precedence over the
previously configured value for the subsystem. The precedence is, in descending order:
1. Command line parameter
2. PARAM specification
3. Configured value
Examples
• To change the configuration of the OSS Monitor $ZPMON to use processor 1 as its default
processor for FSCK, enter the following command:
ALTER /OUT CMDLOG/ SUBSYS $ZPMON, FSCKCPU 1
This command also sends informational messages to the file CMDLOG.
• To change the configuration of the OSS Monitor $ZPMON to enable the automatic startup
service for the OSS filesets and servers that it administers, enter the following command:
ALTER /OUT CMDLOG/ SUBSYS $ZPMON, AUTOSTART AUTO
This command also sends informational messages to the file CMDLOG.
