Start and maintain CDCzLog publisher - connect_cdc_sqdata - Latest

How the Publisher Agent is "Started" depends on how it was "Stopped". Before simply resubmitting the JCL configured earlier in sample member SQDZLOGC, we recommend checking the status using the sqdconf utility using JCL similar to the following where the only input is the display command and the Publisher Agent cab file:

      //*-----------------------------------
      //*- DISPLAY CONFIG FILE
      //*-----------------------------------
      //DISPLAY EXEC SQDCONF,OWNER=&SYSUID
      //SQDPARMS DD *
      display /home/sqdata/imspub.cab 
      //*

If the Publisher Agent is "Not Mounted" then it will be necessary to "Mount" the CDCzLog Publisher Agent by submitting the JCL configured earlier in sample member SQDZLOGC but with only the following SQDPARMS input:

//SQDPARMS DD *
/home/sqdata/imspub.cab

Then depending on what you want to accomplish submit one or more sqdconf utility jobs with JCL similar to the following with the desired command and the Publisher Agent cab file. The final job would contain the start command and look like the following:

      //*---------------------------------------------------
      //*- UPDATE Publisher AGENT
      //*---------------------------------------------------
      //START EXEC SQDCONF,OWNER=&SYSUID
      //SQDPARMS DD *
      start /home/sqdata/imspub.cab 
      //

Other <command> options include:

• Add - Add a "source" to the list of items to be captured - Defaults to INACTIVE status, Must be "active" at the "source" level and APPLIED to truly become Active.
• Apply - Commit changes to the active configuration - Must be MOUNTED and STOPPED. Without APPLY even a "restart" does not commit.
• Modify - Change some information relative to an agent. Changes are inactive until APPLIED.
• Remove - Remove a "source" from the list of items to be captured. Must be APPLIED to truly become inactive.
• Start - Activates an agent. Must be Mounted and not already Started
