Methods Available for Specifying the Scan Interval for the BISS
You can specify the interval that the BMC IMS Software Server (BISS) uses to scan the MVS Subsystem chain looking for active IMS and DB2 subsystems.
The BISS maintains an internal list of these active subsystems and shares this information with other servers throughout the sysplex.
The default scan interval is the value you specified for the Subsystem Scan Interval customizable parameter. You also have the following methods available to specify the scan interval.
Method You Want to Use | Command to Specify | Example for a Subsystem ID of NESA and a Scan Interval of 30 Seconds |
|---|---|---|
Specify an MVS MODIFY operator command | F ssid, SET SCANINTERVAL(n) | F BISA, SET SCANINTERVAL(30) |
Specify a subsystem command | ssidSET SCANINTERVAL(n) | BISASET SCANINTERVAL(30) |
Specify a command in the JCL for the BISS | //NSLSYSIN DD * SET SCANINTERVAL(n) | //NSLSYSIN DD * SET SCANINTERVAL(30) |
