Registration options

When ARM support is enabled, the started task or batch job registers with the automatic restart manager during initialization using these options:

REQUEST=REGISTER
ELEMENT=BETA$sysclone$jobname
ELEMTYPE=SFF@BETA
TERMTYPE=ELEMTERM

where:

• sysclone is a 1- or 2-character shorthand notation for the name of the z/OS system. Please refer to the relevant IBM documentation for a complete description of the SYSCLONE static system symbol.
• jobname is the name of the started task or batch job.

Messages

When you register the started task or batch job with ARM, message xxx9170I is issued (where xxx is the product identifier). If registration fails, an additional message, xxx9171E, is issued.

Event exit

You can use the event exit to prepare a system for the restart of an element or to prevent the restart of an element.

By default, the module IEFBR14 is used. To use a different event exit, specify the name of the exit in member B01LSTxx using the following keyword:

ARM_EVENT_EXIT = name

A sample exit in source form can be found in member BST01AEX in the BSA.SAMPLIB.
