Introduction

Mainframe Access provides a number of console commands that you can use to control execution and display the operational status of Mainframe Access. To use these commands, you must be authorized to use z/OS system console commands. Most of the commands are variants of the z/OS Modify (F) command, with the general format:

F your-procedure-name,command-text

where the parameters are:

`your-procedure-name`	The name of your Mainframe Access startup JCL as explained in the section Mainframe Access Data Sets in the chapter `Configuration`
`command-text`	One of the commands described in the section Console Commands

You use the z/OS Start (S) command to start Mainframe Access:

S your-procedure-name

You use the z/OS Stop (P) command to stop Mainframe Access:

P your-procedure-name

You can enter the commands in any of the following ways:

From an z/OS system console
Using an interface that allows the entry of z/OS system commands, such as IBM's TSO/ISPF SDSF (System Display and Search Facility)
Using a Telnet client through an Internet connection. You cannot start or stop Mainframe Access using a Telnet client. For more information on using a Telnet client see the section Using a Telnet Client.
