Modifying the coupling facility structure
To change the size of the structure or modify its properties (for example, to enable duplexing), you must ensure all BBI-SS PASs are down before manually deleting and redefining the structure.
- Stop all the BBI-SS PASs connected to the structure.
To verify that all connections to the structure have been stopped, issue the MVS command:D XCF STR,STRNM= structure name
The default structure name is MVAO_BMCAB.
To delete the structure, issue the MVS command:SETXCF FORCE,STR,STRNM= structure name
At this point the structure is deleted and all sysplex variables are lost.
- Run your job to redefine the structure with the desired properties.
- Issue the MVS command to display the structure and verify that it has the new desired properties.
- Re-start MainView AutoOPERATOR to resume automation.
