For switching operations, determine how much of the switching operation you want to automate via programming or if you want to perform part of the switch manually.
The event program defined in the switch definition and called by the group monitor controls the switch. To automate the switch, your program should include the following commands:
-
Set Switch Source (SETSWTSRC)
-
Start Switch Screen (STRSWTSCN)
-
Change Switch Definition (CHGSWTDFN)--to change the switch logon message
If you are planning on using a switch to change the direction of replication for MIMIX, you need to include the MIMIX commands for switching the data group. Refer to the Assure MIMIX Operations book for information about switching data groups.
For additional information on switches refer to Working with switch definitions.
