Activates the batch VSAM ECCR interface manually, regardless of the value that is specified for the PowerExchange Agent CCVACTIVE parameter in the AGENTCTL member of the RUNLIB library.
The CCVACTIVE parameter controls whether the VSAM batch ECCR is activated automatically at PowerExchange Agent startup.
If you want to load a new batch VSAM ECCR interface module into Extended Common Storage Area (ECSA) or reload an existing one that has changed, specify VSAMECCR/RELOAD instead of VSAMECCR in the command. The command then places the module in an active state at the beginning of the LPA queue.
If you activate the batch VSAM ECCR for one PowerExchange Agent, the ECCR becomes active globally for all PowerExchange Agents on the MVS image. Consequently, if you are running multiple PowerExchange Agents on an MVS image, you can activate the batch VSAM ECCR once, with only one PowerExchange Agent command prefix.
Syntax
