Abstract: Automatic Restart Management (ARM) is a function of z/OS and OS/390. It may be used to automatically restart MVS jobs and started tasks. IMS includes suuport for ARM. If IMS abends, ARM can restart it without any operator intervention. If MVS fails, ARM can restart IMS on another MVS system in the sysplex. ARM can also restart any CICS and DB2 systems used with IMS. This presentation includes an overview of ARM, an explanation of IMS's support for it, and recommendations for implementing ARM with IMS systems. It explains how to increase the availability of IMS systems using data sharing, IMS Connect, shared queues, DBCTL, or DB2.
