zwe start [parameter [parameter]...]

Description

Start Zowe with main started task.

These Zowe YAML configurations showing with sample values are used:

zowe:
setup:
security:
stcs:
zowe: ZWESLSTC
job:
name: ZWE1SV
haInstances:
[ha-instance]:
sysname: ZLP1
  • zowe.setup.security.stcs.zowe is Zowe started task name. This configuration is optional. Default value is ZWESLSTC.
  • zowe.job.name is the optional customized job name to start Zowe. If it's empty, the start command will not pass JOBNAME= option to S command.
  • haInstances.[ha-instance].sysname is the SYSNAME of the target HA instance. If you pass --ha-instance parameter, this is the SYSNAME the start command will be routed to.

Note: zwe start is only identifying an already configured instance of Zowe. Any additional changes to the zowe.yaml config could possibly require either manual changes or running related zwe commands before issuing zwe start.

Examples

zwe start -c /path/to/zowe.yaml
