START SERVICE
START SERVICE
This command starts:

The target service (after the TACL command RUN MXOAS has initiated the
process)

All DSs that auto-start

The initial servers associated with a started DS
After service starts, clients can begin connecting to the servers.
Command syntax is:
obj-name
[[\system-name.]$service-name]
system-name
is the name of the current system of up to 16 CPUs with the same Expand
address and where the target MXCS process is running. system-name and
service-name identify one service instance.
service-name
is the name of the MXCS association server process of the service to be
started. This name must be an association server process that is in the
stopped state.
Considerations—START SERVICE

START SERVICE is a sensitive command.

The asterisk (*) wild card is not supported.

The association server can be in any state but it must exist (after invoking the
TACL command RUN MXOAS).

The service can be in the stopped state, because it is configured to enter it at
startup or because an operator previously issued STOP. If this service is already in
the available state, START SERVICE is successful but has no effect.
Example—START SERVICE
This example starts the service $AS:
CS>start service $AS;
-- START SERVICE \ODBC.$AS Successful
START SERVICE [obj-name];
