Overview

Universal Broker for z/OS executes as a started task.

The UBROKER program utilizes the z/OS UNIX System Services environment.

Start Universal Broker

To start Universal Broker, execute the START console command:

START UBROKER[,UPARM='options']

To stop Universal Broker, execute the STOP console command:

STOP UBROKER

F <ubroker>,APPL=SHUTDOWN, [ FAILOVER [ ,<sysname> ] | NOFAILOVER ]

When issued against a Secondary agent	This command behaves like the STOP console command.
When issued against a Primary agent	This command shuts down the Broker (and agent) while controlling the Sysplex failover behaviour:
When issued without the FAILOVER or NOFAILOVER parameter	Failover will behave as configured by the automatic_failover parameter in UAGCFG00.
When FAILOVER Is specified	An available Secondary agent will take over as Primary, regardless of how failover is configured. When the optional <`sysname`> is specified, the agent running on the designated z/OS system will take over as Primary agent regardless of how fail over is configured.
When NOFAILOVER Is specified	No Secondary agent will take over as Primary, regardless of how failover is configured.

Note

Behaviour of the STOP console command with failover is identical to this F <ubroker>,APPL=SHUTDOWN command with no other parameters.
