In a MIMIX environment, a master monitor job runs in the MIMIXSBS subsystem on each system that controls the MIMIX scheduler job and all other monitors on the system. Normally, the autostart job entry created in the subsystem during installation automatically starts the master monitor job on a system. If the master monitor job ends because of an unexpected error or termination, the master monitor attempts to restart itself. If the master monitor is ended, starting any monitor will start the master monitor.
The Start MIMIX (STRMMX) and End MIMIX (ENDMMX) commands also address the master monitor jobs along with other MIMIX processes for an installation. The STRMMX command will start the master monitors on each system. In turn, the master monitor on each system will start the MIMIX scheduler job and all monitors that are not disabled and which are configured to automatically start with the master monitor. The ENDMMX command will end all monitors that are in an active state. Then, the MIMIX scheduler job and the master monitor on each system are ended.
You may also need to start or end a master monitor independently of other MIMIX jobs.
The master monitor also starts the interval master monitor when the first asynchronous interval monitor is started. There is no way to directly interact with the interval master monitor.
