Start commands for SESAM/SQL programs

All SESAM/SQL programs are started using SESAM start commands.

It is assumed that you have installed SESAM/SQL and CRTE with IMON or that you have stored the CRTE and SESAM libraries under the standard file names described.

The start commands for all SESAM/SQL programs are defined in the SDF syntax file supplied with SESAM/SQL-Server (see also the “Database Operation” manual):

Start command	Program
START-SESAM-DBH	SESAM
START-SESAM-DCN	SESDCN distribution component
START-SESAM-ADMINISTRATION	SESADM administration program
START-SESAM-PERF-MONITOR	SESMON
START-SESAM-TUNING-TRACE-EVAL	SESCOSP
START-SESAM-RETRIEVAL-DIALOGUE	SEDI61
START-SESAM-CDML-DIALOGUE	SEDI63
START-SESAM-LOG-FILE-EVAL	SEDI70
START-SESAM-UTILITY-MONITOR	Utility monitor SESUTI

Table 58: Start commands

The start commands are described in the corresponding descriptions for starting the programs.

For reasons of compatibility, the earlier command START-PROGRAM may also be used. For more information, refer to the appendix of the “Database Operation” manual.

The start commands perform the following:

• Ascertaining and assigning the system files
  The start commands ascertain the system files required to start the program and assign the files by means of corresponding link names.
  The names of the required system files are determined using the following algorithm: The system attempts to determine the name of the system file using IMON. SESAM/SQL searches for the files of the recent version. The files of the most recently installed version are searched for by CRTE. If the system does not succeed the standard file name is used.
  The files concerned and the standard names that apply to them are listed below:

  File	Link name	Standard name
  CRTE library	BLSLIBxx	$.SYSLNK.CRTE for /390 servers $.SKULNK.CRTE for x86 servers
  SESAM module library	SESAMOML	$.SYSLNK.SESAM-SQL.<ver> for /390 servers $.SKULNK.SESAM-SQL.<ver> for x86 servers
  Procedure for CONNECT- SESAM- CONFIGURATION command		$.SYSSPR.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.RUN-CFG
  Procedure for the start commands		$.SYSSPR.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.RUN-STA
  FHS format library for SESMON	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.MON.E
  FHS format library for the utility monitor (German/English)	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.D
  	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.E
  Help text file for the utility monitor (German/English)	SEEHELP	$.SYSMAN.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.D
  	SEEHELP	$.SYSMAN.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.E

• Determining the operating mode

  The programs are started in the interactive mode when the started via the start commands. If the user wants to run a program in the batch mode, then the user must call the start command in an ENTER procedure.
