BMPs

If you are using the AR/CTL product to manage BMPs, the Online Reorg function communicates with AR/CTL in the following ways:

  • Tells AR/CTL to suspend BMP processing before a /BMCPAU or /DBR command
  • Tells AR/CTL to resume BMP processing after a /STA command

AR/CTL suspends and resumes BMP processing without stopping the job step. It appears to MVS that the job is still running. You do not need to resubmit a job step to get the BMP running again. When Online Reorg checks the status of the database that will be reorganized, it might find that the database has BMPs running against it. If Online Reorg finds any BMPs running, message BMC90486I is issued to report which BMPs are running on which IMS systems.

To use the AR/CTL interface, include the BMC load library in the STEPLIB concatenation of the Online Reorg job. You do not need to include any keywords in the PLUSIN control statement, and you do not need to include an ARCSYSIN DD statement.

For more information about AR/CTL, see the BMC AMI Application Restart Control for IMS documentation.

If you have BMPs that are not under the control of AR/CTL, Online Reorg issues a BMC message indicating that the BMP is running and needs to stop.
