Issue/Introduction

Recommended process to start and stop Detector for Db2 for z/OS (PDT) collections using MVS Modify commands within a batch job.

Resolution

Stop or start Detector collections using MVS Modify commands by running the batch job below.


The Xmanager STC/Job must already be running. To simplify the process, place your start MVS Modify commands into a member
of your <hlq>.CDBAPXMP library. The start MVS Modify commands are described in the Detector User Guide - Using -
Using MVS Modify Commands to Control Collection - START(DTR) Command - Start Collection section.

The format of the command to run a member that contains Detector start commands is:

F <xmanager>,RUN(PDS Member Containing the Start Commands)

The sample JCL below will run member $STRTPDT (which contains start commands for a Detector collection) from hlq.CDBAPXMP.
The name of the Xmanager is PTXMAN20:

/*$VS,'F <xmanager>,RUN($STRTPDT)' 
//jobcard      
//XMANCMDS EXEC PGM=IEFBR14  

 

The sample JCL below is an example of executing a Modify command instream to load a Detector Collection Profile:

/*$VS,'F <xmanager>,PROF(DTR),PRF(collprof),DB2(ssid)' ' 
//jobcard      
//XMANCMDS EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
