The Ironstream agent runs as a started task on the z/OS system. For example, the command:
S VP390
will start the JCL procedure called VP390. If the agent does not
initialize after entering this command, then it is likely that not all
installation/configuration steps have been completed. For the agent to
start correctly, this configuration file member must exist in the
Ironstream parmlib
dataset defined as input to the SYSIN
DD statement:
DDMPARM
The DDMPARM member contains initialization statements/parameters for the started task.
Error messages and initialization messages are issued during startup and can be found in the VP390 joblog and the syslog.
After the agent has been started the status of all subtasks can be displayed by issuing this command:
F VP390,SHOW TASK
Check the command output to see that all required subtasks and all optional subtasks for your configuration are active. Also, note the status and compare to the expected status shown in the list of subtasks.
