Mark,

I never knew it was there. What I did know is that within our QSTRUP program there is a STRTCP command. Redundant?

There is, also, an IPL option to start print writers, as well as a system value for that. Even though this value is set to *Yes on our backup machine, the print writers do *not* automatically start on it. In QSTRUP I check to see which machine is being IPLed (a data area tells me whether it's production or backup) and it skips the QWCSWTRS program if it is backup even though the system value, as well as the IPL options, is set to 'Yes'.

My point is, well, really a puzzlement or query: Would TCP start without the STRTCP command in QSTRUP if the IPL option is *Yes? Based upon my reading of Rob's question (i.e., what I thought he didn't say - "Mine's starting and there's nothing in my QSTRUP program about it."), I'm supposing that's true. But it obviously isn't true of every IPL option, such as the print writers. Seems a bit inconsistent.

Hi, Rob:

Issue DSPIPLA to see the IPL attributes. Use CHGIPLA to change them.

(Been that way since at least V5R2...)

HTH,

Mark

What normally fires off STRTCP?
I checked QSTRUP.
