MVS automatic restart management definitions

You can exploit the MVS™ automatic restart management facility that is provided by MVS to implement a sysplex-wide integrated automatic restart mechanism.

If you want to use the MVS automatic restart manager facility, you should:

  1. Implement automatic restart management on the MVS images that the CICS® workload is to run on.
  2. Ensure that CICS startup JCL used to restart CICS regions is suitable for MVS automatic restart management.
  3. Specify appropriate CICS START options.
  4. Specify appropriate MVS workload policies.

If you do not wish to use the MVS automatic restart management facility, you can use XRF to provide restart of failed CICS regions. For information about XRF, see the CICS/ESA 3.3 XRF Guide.
