Initiating auto maintenance

Auto maintenance can be started in the following ways

  • an action command from the CREGAGT view

    The RES command is used when updating MainView for CICS modules that run in the CICS address space only. The RES command initiates the TERM and the INIT functions for the target CICS systems. In addition, the TRM and INT commands can be used individually in place of the RES command.

    Note

    This facility is not related specifically to MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS but is a part of the MainView for CICS product. If you are installing MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS without also installing MainView for CICS, you will not be able to use this facility.

  • a restart of the BBI-SS PAS restart

    When the BBI-SS PAS terminates, it is detected by common functionality in MainView for CICS and by MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS in the CICS system. When the termination is detected, a TERM function is initiated.

    When the BBI-SS PAS restarts, an INIT request for MainView for CICS and MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS is sent to the target CICS systems through the External CICS Interface facility (EXCI). The EXCI facility sends the action commands from the CREGAGT view to the CICS system.

  • an FST2 TERM/INIT sequence is issued from the console, a CICS terminal, or from a MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS EXEC

    The EXCI facility enables auto maintenance to initiate the MainView for CICS and MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS agents without a BBI-SS PAS communications link. It also enables the BBI-SS PAS to initiate the link to a CICS system.
