Primary Process​

Three primary processes should be in the active mix when the LSAM is running:

  • *SMA/COMM/xxx
  • *SMA/MCP/INTERFACE/xxx
  • *SMA/TCPIP/xxx

If all three of the processes are active, but a problem is still suspected, view the print files for each process. The print file for each process can be found under *BD/<Mix # of LSAM's Parent Process>, unless the site has assigned a unique BDNAME to the LSAM's print files.

Optional Processes​

There are other optional processes that should be in the active mix when a particular feature is functioning:

  • *SMA/FILE/MONITOR/xxx for File Monitor
  • *SMA/RESOURCE/MONITOR/xxx for Resource Monitor
  • *SMA/SURROGATE/xxx for monitoring adopted/tracked jobs
  • *SMA/JORS/xxx for the Job Output Retrieval System
  • *SMA/MSGIN/DETECTOR/xxx for MSGIN
  • *SMA/DISPLAY/HANDLER/xxx for Auto Response

Stop the LSAM​

Stop the LSAM (STOPLSAM)​

Use this screen to stop the LSAM, and optionally the Resource Monitor as well. You may also stop the Resource Monitor using the STOPRM main menu option.
