Description
This parameter enables the restart utility, which makes it possible to communicate with a looping (or hung) Online with the MODIFY command under MVS or with the SMSG facility under CMS. Using MODIFY or SMSG commands, you can determine which user is running in the Online and BUMP a user, or even force a user restart.
The restart utility is enabled by setting the X'01' bit of the RESTARTU parameter. For more information about the restart utility, see Operator Commands.
The SirTune data collector, in addition to collecting performance data for an Online, provides functionality identical to that of the restart facility. Under Sirius Mods 6.9 and later, the SirTune data collector is integrated into the Sirius Mods. As such, in these releases, if the SirTune data collector is active, the RESTARTU parameter is ignored.
