Starting TMF

To install and then use SQL/MX, it is required that TMF be running and configured for all the data volumes on which SQL/MX objects are created.

For more information about TMF auditing requirements, configuration guidelines, and considerations for SQL/MX, see the SQL/MX Management Manual and the TMF Planning and Configuration Guide.

The product version of TMF provided on the SUT must be compatible with the installed SQL/MX version.

When you start the TMF subsystem, only the accessible configured data volumes are started for transaction processing. You must ensure that the volumes you intend to use for SQL/MX metadata and audited objects are configured and started for transaction processing. You must also ensure that the TMF subsystem as a whole is started for transaction processing. You can request status from TMFCOM by entering the TMFCOM command at the operating-system command interpreter prompt and then issuing STATUS commands through TMFCOM.

For more information about TMF configuration, see the TMF Reference Manual.
