Chapter 2 Interactive Control Operator Commands

Table of Contents

This chapter describes the APPCCONTROL commands used to control APPC subsystem functions.

NOTE: For all releases of the APPC subsystem that do not support Node Type 2.1, the APPCCONTROL commands are MPE commands interpreted by the MPE command interpreter. However, for the Node Type 2.1 version of the APPC subsystem, the APPC subsystem has its own command interpreter for APPCCONTROL commands.

For the Node Type 2.1 version, a system UDC file, which is installed with the APPC subsystem, will translate APPCCONTROL commands into MPE RUN commands that invoke the APPCCONTROL command interpreter. Before you can issue any APPCCONTROL commands, you must issue the following command to set the system UDC file:

SETCATALOG APPCUDC.APPC.SYS;SYSTEM;APPEND

You must have NM (Node Manager) or NA (Network Administrator) capability to issue APPCCONTROL commands.

The commands in this chapter are listed alphabetically.

Table 2-1 “Control Operator Commands” lists the APPC subsystem control operator commands.

Table 2-1 Control Operator Commands

`APPCCONTROL DUMP`	Dumps APPC subsystem internal data structures to dump file `APPCDPxx.APPC.SYS`.
`APPCCONTROL HELP`	Displays help text for APPCCONTROL commands.
`APPCCONTROL PERFORMANCE`	Displays session statistics and performance-related data, if statistics gathering is enabled.
`APPCCONTROL PERFORMANCEOFF`	Disables the gathering of APPC subsystem performance statistics.
`APPCCONTROL PERFORMANCEON`	Enables the gathering of APPC subsystem performance statistics during run time.
`APPCCONTROL SESSIONS`	Controls the number of active APPC sessions of a specified APPC session type.
`APPCCONTROL START`	Activates the APPC subsystem and all APPC sessions configured for automatic activation.
`APPCCONTROL STATUS`	Displays the status of the APPC subsystem.
`APPCCONTROL STOP`	Deactivates all APPC sessions, writes out performance data to the log file (if statistics gathering is enabled and logging is configured), and brings down the APPC subsystem.
`APPCCONTROL STOPSESSION`	Deactivates an APPC session for a specified APPC session type.
`APPCCONTROL TRACEOFF`	Disables APPC subsystem internal state tracing.
`APPCCONTROL TRACEON`	Enables APPC subsystem internal state tracing.
`APPCCONTROL VERSION`	Displays software module version information for the APPC subsystem and LU 6.2 products.
