(ZOS) Determining if the z/OS location service daemon is running

This topic describes what steps we must follow to determine if the location service daemon is running on a z/OS system.

The location service daemon starts automatically if it is not already running when we start an Application Server or a deployment manager server.

Perform the following step any time we want to know whether the location service daemon is running.

Tasks

To determine if the location service daemon is running, issue one of the display commands, such as d a,l, from the MVS™ console.

You know the system is running if we see the BBODMNx address space running, where x is a letter (A, B, C, and so on).
