In the rmm_check_services operand of the RMM service definition, the user identifies the resource managers he or she wants to monitor. The user creates commands in the shell file to manipulate resource managers monitored by the RMM service. The user then specifies the file names of the created commands (listed below) in the monitored RM definition.

• Monitored RM start command (rmm_start_command operand)
• Monitored RM termination command (rmm_stop_command operand)
• Monitored RM forced termination command (rmm_abort_command operand)
• Monitored process ID acquisition command (rmm_get_pid_command operand)

Samples for the above commands are provided. Modify the samples according to your job so you do not need to create commands from scratch. Samples are stored in the $DCDIR/etc/RMmonitor/ directory.

For details about creating commands, see the manual OpenTP1 Operation. For details about definitions, see the manual OpenTP1 System Definition.

You can create a definition for monitoring a resource manager so that resource manager operation starts automatically when OpenTP1 starts.

Figure 3-74 shows how the start of OpenTP1 is related to the RMM service definition and the monitored RM definition.
