Global DSM may be activated whenever your system is active, even when MFX jobs are executing. However, only MFX jobs that begin after global DSM is activated will use it.   

To activate global DSM, issue the START command from the console. The START command uses the JCL procedure SYNCG310, which was placed in SYS1.PROCLIB in STEP 16: Place SYNCG310 PROC into SYS1.PROCLIB of Installation Procedure.   

The START command must be issued each time you IPL your system unless you choose automatic activation. See the section Automatic Activation of Global DSM on next page.

Note: Since global DSM will be active on your system constantly after it is activated with the START command, you may want to restrict the time global DSM is active to the hours when you are testing MFX by using the START and STOP commands. However, to receive the full benefit of global DSM once MFX is in production, global DSM should be active whenever your system is running.

The format of the START command is: 

START Command Format

HDSN=name

The HDSN option allows you to use a history data set that has a name other than SYNCSORT.MFX.R31.HISTORY, which is the delivered default name in SYNCG310. This option is useful when you are activating global DSM on several different systems since the data sets on different systems may have different names.

LIB=name

The LIB option allows you to change the default library name that contains the global DSM processing modules. The delivered default name is SYNCSORT.MFX.R31.SYNCAUTH.   

SYSOUT=class

The SYSOUT option allows you to change the output class for global DSM’s printed output. The delivered default is '*'.

START Command Example

Here is an example of the START command:

S SYNCG310,HDSN='ALT.HISTORY.NAME'   

In this example, global DSM is started (S) and the name of the default history data set (SYNCSORT.MFX.R31.HISTORY) in the activating PROC (SYNCG310) is replaced with the name ALT.HISTORY.NAME.

When the initialization is successful, message WER605I is routed to the console. See the appropriate IBM System Commands Reference for your system for the complete syntax of the START command.
