how to start rtc ispf daemon on each LPAR for PLEX zos


bin qi (6112320) | asked Nov 15 '11, 2:36 a.m.
The client mainframe is PLEX architect with two LPAR.
RTC server is installed on a non-mainframe.
On zos,we only use rtc ispf client.
The client asked whether we could start daemon on each LPAR.
I try to start a daemon on a LPAR,and start the second daemon on another LPAR,get error message :
failed to acquire alivelock: com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.utils.filesystelock@
and the first daemon can not work normally ,too
Does the RTC ISPF support to start more than one daemon on PLEX ?
If yes,how to do?
thanks~~~

Hi

Yes you can have more than one daemon running. Based on the error we think what is probably happening is both of your daemon instances are sharing some config directories/files that can not be shared. What you need to do is create a second RTC ISPF daemon start up procedure (BLZISPFD) and perform the RACF customization associated with that. In the second start up procedure adjust the CNFG parm to use a separate configuration directory (CNFG). In the second configuration directory modify the "ispfdmn.conf" file so that it uses unique values for the following:
ISPF_REGISTRY_DIR
SCM_WORK
ISPF_DAEMON_LOG

We have multiple daemons going on a single LPAR here at the lab to service various different ISPF client levels so this is definitely doable.
