Initializing the CICS VR server address space

The behavior of command and parameters during initialization of the server address space.

During the initialization of a system that has CICS® VR installed, the value specified in the CICSVR_INIT(YES | NO) parameter in the active IGDSMSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB is examined. If YES is specified, the system attempts to automatically start the CICS VR server address space. If NO is specified, the system does not attempt to automatically start the CICS VR server address space. This parameter must be specified on each system that runs an instance of the CICS VR server address space.

If the CICS VR server address space is not automatically started during system initialization, it can be started at a later time by issuing the VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE operator command on the system. However, the CICS VR server address space cannot be started either automatically or dynamically when the value for the CICSVR_INIT parameter is NO. Therefore, before issuing the VARY command, either change the CICSVR_INIT parameter to YES in the active IGDSMSxx member, or run the SETSMS CICSVR_INIT(YES) operator command to allow activation of the CICS VR server address space.

If an error occurs with the CICS VR server address space during system initialization, for example, cannot allocate the RCDSs, the CICS VR server terminates and does not automatically restart. You must first correct the problem and then use the VARY SMS,CICSVR,ACTIVE command to start the CICS VR server. See Activate the CICS VR server for more information.
