Under chapter 14 "DFSMShsm Libraries and Procedure" of the DFSMShsm Implementation and Cust. Guide. there are a couple of sentences which confirm what you claim: "Using the RESTART Keyword to Automatically Restart DFSMShsm after an Abnormal End: If you are running DFSMShsm in an MVS/ESA environment, you can use the RESTART keyword in the DFSMShsm startup procedure to automatically restart DFSMShsm after an abnormal termination. When you specify the RESTART keyword in the DFSMShsm start procedure, no operator intervention is required to automatically restart DFSMShsm. The protocol for the RESTART keyword is: RESTART=(A,B), where A is required and is the name of the DFSMShsm procedure to be started, and B is optional and specifies any additional parameters to be passed to the procedure. Figure 88 on page 333 is an example of the DFSMShsm startup procedure. Notice that the EMERG keyword NO allows all DFSMShsm functions and that the RESTART keyword restarts DFSMShsm automatically. However, when DFSMShsm is restarted the status of the EMERGENCY keyword in the restarted procedure is YES. When EMERG=YES, DFSMShsm does not allow any functions to start." Looks like I learned something new. Have a look at RESTART keyword in your procedure. > What do you mean when you say "hsm is defined under ARM"? ARM is the Automatic Restart Manager, which allows you to define Started Tasks or Address Spaces which need to be restarted in case they are down (very short definition).
