Controlling the Subsystem with Subsystem Detail panel

You can monitor and control the BCSSs from the command line as explained earlier. The same functions are available using the RUV ISPF interface. On the RUV Options panel, select option 8 (Subsystem / Ruleset Information) to display the Subsystem Detail panel as shown in the following figure:

This panel allows you to display information about the subsystem and to issue commands against the subsystem.

The Subsystem Detail panel consists of four areas. The top area displays the RUV product version, subsystem version, and the operating system version, followed by the subsystem ID (SSID) of the subsystem currently connected and the system ID (SMFID) of the system where the subsystem is running.

The second area from the top displays the currently active rule set at the subsystem level. N/A is displayed if no rule set is active.

The third area from the top displays the current state of BACKUP and LOGGING components in the connected subsystem. Selection enables the File/Enable, File/Disable, File/Quiesce and File/Status action bar choices if changes are authorized for the user ID by the security system. These selections are only available when your authorized View is set to Update Mode.

The bottom area provides access to the subsystem QUIESCE command for authorized users of the connected subsystem. Commands are only available when an authorized View is set to Command Mode.

In addition to the standard choices, the following choices are available from the File action bar choice:

• Enable
  Enter the subsystem ENABLE command. For more information, see Enabling-RUV-activity.
• Disable
  Enter the subsystem DISABLE command. For more information, see Stopping-RUV-activity-immediately.
• Quiesce
  Enter the subsystem QUIESCE command. For more information, see Stopping-RUV-activity-normally.
• Status
  Enter the subsystem STATUS command. For more information, see Displaying-the-status-of-RUV-components.
