HSM to support multiple CMD members

Sometimes in DR situation, we will be needing special commands to be submitted when HSM comes up. For this, we can issue those via automation. But whenever there is an IPL or when HSM is recycled, those commands will be lost. Instead of depending on automation, if we have an ability for HSM to use 2 CMD members, the 2nd member can have special commands which can be used during HSM startup.

    Have a look at the support added in OA63701 and see if that would do what you need. With PTFs for that APAR, DFSMShsm has enhanced its ONLYIF support so that system symbols and even custom symbols can be used to tailor hsm options for a particular environment. Please reach out if you want to talk more of have questions.
