Cold start of a BBI-SS PAS

A BBI-SS PAS cold start frees control blocks held by any previous BBI-SS PAS and obtains new control blocks for the new BBI-SS PAS.

It can be automatic or requested. A cold start request is specified in BBSAMP member SSJCL as START=COLD.

A cold start might be necessary whenever PRODUCT statements are added, removed, or modified in BBPARM member BBISSP00. Otherwise, this request should be made only because BMC Customer Support has recommended a cold start or because it is the only way to start a BBI-SS PAS.

Important

The BBI-SS PAS should not be cold started when the associated IMS control region is up. If a cold start of the BBI-SS PAS is done, an IMS control region outage could occur.

An automatic cold start occurs after:

  • An IPL
  • BBI maintenance that affects BBI data in CSA (any module name with a prefix of DM) is applied
  • The previous BBI-SS PAS was started with START=KILL

Important

(BMC AMI Ops Automation only) The VPOOL parameter in SSJCL can be used to reset shared variables after a cold start except for an automatic cold start where a reset is forced after an IPL. The VPOOL parameter is used as follows:

VPOOL=RESET|NORESET

The default is NORESET.

If a warm start is attempted and the version of the BBI-SS PAS being started is not compatible with the version of the previous BBI-SS PAS used, the operator is prompted with a message that the releases are not compatible. The operator can then specify COLD or CANCEL.

Important

START=FREE frees all allocated CSA in the same manner as a cold start. However, the BBI-SS PAS terminates immediately after the storage is freed.
