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.

  1. Stop all the BBI-SS PASs connected to the structure.
  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Run your job to redefine the structure with the desired properties.
  5. Issue the MVS command to display the structure and verify that it has the new desired properties.
  6. Re-start MainView AutoOPERATOR to resume automation.
