    Parameter descriptions for START SMDSCONN

    This command is used after connections have been put into the AVAIL(STOPPED) state by a previous STOP SMDSCONN command. It can also be used to signal to the queue manager to retry a connection which is in the AVAIL(ERROR) state after a previous error.

      SMDSCONN(qmgr-name| *)
      Specify the queue manager which owns the shared message data set for which the connection is to be started or an asterisk to start connections to all shared message data sets associated with the specified structure.

      CFSTRUCT(structure-name)
      Specify the structure name for which shared message data set connections are to be started.

      CMDSCOPE
      This parameter specifies how the command runs when the queue manager is a member of a queue sharing group.

        ' '
        The command runs on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.

        qmgr-name
        The command runs on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue sharing group.

        We can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you are using a queue sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

        *
        The command runs on the local queue manager and is also passed to every active queue manager in the queue sharing group. The effect of this is the same as entering the command on every queue manager in the queue sharing group.
