Bypass processing

For example:

S procName,TRCF=N

This feature is designed to permit the user to bypass RCF processing during start-up of some systems, and to permit IMS system start-ups in circumstances where the services of the RCF are not desired. Examples of a situation where RCF would be bypassed include:

• The first start-up of a new IMS system

• Upgrading to a new release of IMS

• The start-up of IMS surveillance systems in XRF environments.

When TRCF=N is specified:

1. RCF issues checks for and attempts to delete any RCF-created ENQs for this IMS system.

2. RCF issues an RCF0005I WTO message and immediately terminates normally with a return code 10. No database integrity or system resource status checking is done. No backups of MSDB-related data sets will be done.

3. The MTO is entirely responsible for ensuring RDS data set usability and that the following:

   • Database integrity is maintained.

   • The correct IMS restart will be performed.

   Note

   After RCF has been used with an IMS system, BMC recommends that you specify TRCF=N as the only method to bypass RCF processing. Do not perform an AUTO=N restart with the RCF steps removed from the IMS procedure.
