Command-line option

If you have the authority to issue z/OS® operator commands, you can use the command-line interface to manage data collection for the Dataset Attributes Database feature as follows:

F temsname,S3DA command_function

where temsname is the name of the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server started task and command_function is one of the following:

Command function	Purpose
`START` or `COLLECT`	Immediately start a collection cycle. Previously defined volume and storage group exclusion lists are used, if any exist.
`STATUS`	Display the current status of a Dataset Attributes Database collection cycle that is running.
`HALT` or `STOP`	Immediately stop an collection cycle. Attributes and reports for every data set are processed up to the point that the `STOP` command was issued are available for viewing from the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
`TERM`	Terminate all processing for the Dataset Attributes Database feature.

You find messages and output from any of these commands in the RKLVLOG output from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server.
