(ZOS) Use MVS console commands

This topics discusses the MVS console commands that we can use to start, stop, and modify the product nodes and servers.

This topic assumes a basic familiarity with z/OS console commands. See the Information Center for the z/OS product for information about how to use MVS operator commands.

We can issue commands from the MVS console ourself, or optionally use standard console automation products to automate product operations. Products such as Netview are presented copies of messages that are to be displayed on the VS console. These automation products can also enter commands into the system using a virtual MVS console as a source.

We can use the MVS console commands to start, stop, and modify the product nodes and servers.

Tasks

• Start the application server, the deployment manager, or the node agent.
• Stop the application server, the deployment manager, or the node agent.
• Modify Application Server operations.
• Monitor your Application Server through display commands.

Depending on which commands we issued, we might have stopped or started the Application Server, stopped or started the deployment manager, stopped or started the node agent, modified the Application Server operations, or monitored your Application Server.
