Managing the RTServer

The RTServer provides the capability of passing messages between MainView for Linux — Servers PAS and the data servers of the Linux images that it is monitoring.

To start the RTServer

1. Verify that the JCL used to start the RTServer has been created (see Task 2 — Creating the RTSERVER JCL startup procedure).
2. Verify the procedure name.
3. From the z/OS operator console, enter the START command:
   START procname

4. Look for the following console messages that verify a successful RTServer initialization:

   TAL1091I Creating conns to accept connections on
   TAL1092I Creating conn <tcp> to listen for connections
   TAL1300I Connecting to other RTserver processes
   TAL1301I The option server_names is UNKNOWN: cannot connect to other
   RTservers.
   TAL1198I RTserver started successfully

To stop the RTServer

1. Verify the procedure name for the RTServer that you want to stop.
2. From the z/OS operator console, enter the STOP command:
   P procname
