Configuring the started task on the z/OS server
The version that BMC sends you looks like the following JCL:
// class="A",MSGCLASS=X,TIME=1440
//*
//*WHEN YOU ARE READY TO RUN THIS PROGRAM IN PRODUCTION MODE
//*(PROBABLY AS A STARTED TASK) YOU MAY REMOVE ALL THE STEPS EXCEPT
//*THE E2COMM STEP. THE OTHER STEPS EXIST TO CREATE AND PRIME THE
//*TARGETS FILE WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING THE PROGRAM IN TEST MODE.
//*PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO REMOVE THE OVER-RIDE OF THE 'SYSUT1'
//*DD FOR THE 'INIT' STEP WHICH IS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE JOB.
//*
//*NOTE: THE E2COMM PROGRAM LISTENS FOR THE FOLLOWING CONSOLE
//*COMMANDS - "STOP E2COMM" OR "MODIFY E2COMM,STOP" IN ORDER
//*TO PROVIDE FOR A CLEAN SHUT DOWN.

Customizing your library member
The E2COMM job runs as a started task after you have completed the entire installation and customization process and have begun to run Universal Information Exchange programs in a production mode.
The E2COMM program listens for the z/OS console commands, STOP E2COMM or MODIFY E2COMM, STOP to provide for a clean shutdown.
Make sure the E2COMM program, running as either a batch job or started task, is automatically started on your z/OS server following the initialization of TCP/IP. You want the E2COMM program to run continuously so that the workstation where you analyze the Universal Information Exchange data can connect to it at any time. You can run it continuously as a batch job, but be aware that the E2COMM program occupies an initiator as long as it runs.
