Parameters

n: The subscript defining the offload job transmitters and receivers affected by this command. The subscript can specify a numeric value (1-8) or a range of values associating offload job transmitters and receivers with offload devices. For information about specifying a range of values for this subscript, see Command syntax conventions.
OFFn.JR: The offload job receiver that is started, where n is the number (1-8) of the corresponding offload device.
OFFn.JT: The offload job transmitter that is started, where n is the number (1-8) of the corresponding offload device.
OFFn.SR: The offload SYSOUT receiver that is started, where n is the number (1-8) of the corresponding offload device.
OFFn.ST: The offload SYSOUT transmitter that is started, where n is the number (1-8) of the corresponding offload device.

Authority Required

This command requires device authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires update security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Processing Considerations

If the offload device is already active, the transmitters and/or receivers start immediately.
You can start only one job receiver, SYSOUT receiver, job transmitter and SYSOUT transmitter for a specific offload device and each must be specified with the corresponding device number.
If you issue the $DU command for the transmitters before the associated offload device is started, it will display their status as STARTABLE.

Scope

Single member. This command will be in effect for this member only. There is no need to have this command issued to all members of the MAS.
