MIMIX uses a number of processes to perform replication. These processes, along with a number of supporting processes must be active to enable MIMIX to function.
These pairs of commands will start and end replication:
-
The Start MIMIX (STRMMX) and End MIMIX (ENDMMX) commands will start or stop replication processes as well as all supporting processes for the products in a MIMIX installation library in a single operation. These commands are the preferred method for starting and ending MIMIX.
-
The Start Application Group (STRAG) and End Application Group (ENDAG) commands will start or stop replication processes in environments configured with application groups. Each command calls a default procedure with steps to perform its operations and can be customized.
-
The Start Data Group (STRDG) and End Data Group (ENDDG) commands will start or stop data group replication processes. These commands are the basis for controlling replication processes and are invoked programmatically by the previously identified commands.
This chapter provides information about and procedures for use each set of commands.
