The Log Reader Capture Agent is "Started" simply by submitting the JCL configured earlier in sample member SQDIMSC. The current status of the capture can always be determined using the sqdconf utility and 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/imscdc.cab
//* Console commands that may be issued, with the proper authority include:
| Command Function | Description |
|---|---|
| P <task_name> | Stops and unmounts the capture immediately |
| F <task_name>,PAUSE | Pauses the capture |
| F <task_name>,RESUME | Resumes the capture after a pause |
| F <task_name>,DISPLAY | Display of the capture cab file with the output being written to SYSPRINT in the running STC |
| F <task_name>,STOP | Stops and unmounts the capture |
