Starting, restarting, and refreshing Subzero address spaces and tasks
Use the following procedures to manually start Subzero address spaces and tasks on the LPAR in which you enter the command.
To start a Subzero controlling agent
- Enter the following command to tell DBC to initialize the Subzero controlling agent on this LPAR: / dbcssid BRD,START
This command is useful if the controlling agent has stopped (because of a command or failure), and you want it to start running again without restarting DBC. If the controlling agent is already running on this LPAR, DBC ignores the command.
To start a Subzero controlling agent task that handles clients
- Enter the following command to request that the Subzero controlling agent initialize the task that handles clients on this LPAR: / dbcssid BRD,START,CLIENT
This command is useful if the task that handles clients has stopped (because of a command or failure), and you want it to start running again without restarting the controlling agent. The task will initialize only if the current configuration indicates that this LPAR is a potential client LPAR for redirection. If the task is already running on this LPAR, the controlling agent ignores the command.
To restart a Subzero controlling agent
- Enter the following command to tell DBC to stop the Subzero controlling agent on this LPAR, and restart it by using the definitions that are currently in DBC's memory: / dbcssid BRD,RESTART
This command causes Subzero to use the latest load modules from the load library. This command is useful when you need to 'bounce' (stop and restart) the controlling agent (such as after applying maintenance), but you have not changed the Subzero startup procedure. If the controlling agent is not already running on this LPAR, DBC starts it.
To refresh a Subzero controlling agent
- Enter the following command to tell DBC to stop the Subzero controlling agent on this LPAR, and restart it by using the definitions that are in the DBC repository: / dbcssid BRD,REFRESH
This command is useful when you have changed the BRD startup procedure, and you want the changes to take effect immediately. This command also causes Subzero to use the latest load modules from the load library. If the controlling agent is not already running on this LPAR, DBC starts it.
