Verifying scheduler startup

If the MFA Server holder has successfully started it will also have started your scheduler. You can now verify that the scheduler has started correctly.

In addition to the regular JESx DD statements and SYSTSPRT/ZCOTSPRT, the job log of a running scheduler address space should contain the following DD names:

DD Name	Function
MAINTASK	(LE) Messages from MAINTASK.
LISTENER	(LE) Listener for client requests.
CMDTASK	(LE) Messages from CMDTASK; contains command output.
SRVTASK	(LE) Messages from SRVTASK.
MSGTASK	(LE) Task to queue messages to a USS message queue.
T000000x, x=1..NUMTCB	(LE) Messages from T000000x, the worker tasks.
MAILBOX	If email notification is configured.

A number of messages reference these DD statements as "LE message files".

A scheduler address space has started successfully when the hardcopy log shows:

+TAU0067I  zServer startup completed for TAURISPF  for JESx and ASID nnnn

To verify that the scheduler is responding to work requests you can customize and submit the verification job hlq.ZSERVER.JCL(IVPVERI):

//TAURHLQ  SET TAURHLQ=hlq.ZSERVER

You need to do the following to customize hlq.ZSERVER.JCL(IVPVERI):

Add a valid job card.
Specify the data set prefix defined (TAURHLQ).
Specify the correct IP address of the host system (IVP_Server).
Specify the port the scheduler address space is listening on (IVP_Port).
Specify the name of the IP stack used (IVP_IPNAME).

The IVPVERI output should look like this:

IVP0002I Selection code for IVP was :   1                           
         EXEC IVPREXXI (echo REXX)                                  
IVP0003I call to zServer ended with  RC :       0

If you receive a return code of 49 in message IVP0003I, check if numbering was inadvertently turned on in the member from which this job was submitted. If it was, turn off numbering.
