Introduction

Mainframe Access provides a number of console commands that you can use to control execution and display the operational status of Mainframe Access. To use these commands, you must be authorized to use z/OS system console commands. Most of the commands are variants of the z/OS Modify (F) command, with the general format:

F <your-procedure-name>,<command-text>

where:

<your-procedure-name>

The name of your Mainframe Access startup JCL. See Mainframe Access Data Sets for more information.

<command-text>

See Console Commands for more information on the commands available.

To use the z/OS Start (S) command to start Mainframe Access:

S <your-procedure-name>

To use the z/OS Stop (P) command to stop Mainframe Access:

P <your-procedure-name>

You can enter the commands in any of the following ways:

• From an z/OS system console.
• Using an interface that allows the entry of z/OS system commands, such as IBM's TSO/ISPF SDSF (System Display and Search Facility).
