Re: Will a scheduled IPL run if it uses a disabled profile?

Disabled shouldn't be a factor as the system only needs the profile to have
authority to the program/command being run.

You can test this with something less invasive than an IPL. Create a dummy
user profile, create a scheduled job entry that runs under that profile.
Schedule the job to run a few minutes from now. Make the job something
that doesn't impact the system. Back in the Twinax days I'd use PRTDEVADR
CTL01 as an example; nowadays and DSP* command with output(*print) should
work. Let it run. Now disable the profile and adjust the scheduler entry
to run it again in a few minutes. See if it runs; it should.

Was the IPL job held by any chance? If so, before you release make sure
*NOSBM is in the parameter for what to do if it's time is missed.

Hi everyone,

I have a saved job scheduled entry (standard wrkjobscde) that in the past
was used to IPL the system.

The entry on the job scheduler was created by a user who is no longer
employed here, and the user profile parameter for the scheduled IPL was set
to use that user - but that user profile is disabled.

Could a disabled user profile prevent the IPL from running in this
scenario?

I had it scheduled for 2:00 am this past Sunday, but the IPL never ran and
the job scheduler via option 8 (work with last submission) says job not
found but I'm pretty sure it's referencing an IPL that occurred over a year
ago - the last time we IPL'd that partition, which was while that user was
still here. DSPLOG shows no reference at all to the scheduled job running
this past Sunday.

I have it rescheduled for this coming Sunday to run under and active
profile.

Other than a disabled proflie, is there anything else that would prevent
the IPL?

Thanks, Jerry
