RE: NEWI Daemon & IPLing - Update - DO NOT TRY IT

To All,                 (BPCS 6.0.02, full C/S, Mar'98 cum, on an IBM S20
running V4R2M0 for a production machine)

After getting rolled out at 3:30 this morning because BPCS was not working,
I take back what I did & said yesterday about  solving my IPLing problem &
getting the NEWI daemon running automatically.  When I IPLed the system
yesterday, I only checked to make sure the daemon was running & didn't even
try BPCS to see if it would work - which didn't even cross my mind.

Actually, IT MADE BPCS NOT WORK AT ALL!!!!!!!!

After screwing around for a few hours this morning trying this & that, it
finally made sense to undo the change I made to the QSYS/QSYGETPH object.  I
just couldn't see what that would do to cause my problem so it was the last
thing I tried.  I removed the *ALL authority from QPGMR for the
QSYS/QSYGETPH object.   I then re-IPLed my machine, had the CL error occur
(responded with an I) about QPGMR not having authority to the QSYS/QSYGETPH
object, & started the NEWI daemon manually.

Lo & behold, BPCS now works & I have people being productive today.

So, whatever you do, DO NOT GIVE QPGMR *ALL AUTHORITY TO THE QSYS/QSYGETPH
OBJECT.   IT WILL MAKE BPCS NOT FUNCTION!!!!

So, I am back to raising the original question.  How do I get the NEWI
daemon started AND have BPCS work???

Anyone like to tackle the question????  I'm leaving my system alone.  When I
IPL, I just have to make sure the NEWI daemon gets started manually.  End of
screwing around.

        Subject:        NEWI Daemon & IPLing - Update

        To Genyphyr & Phil specifically & to the others on the list for your
info,

        We are running BPCS 6.0.02, full C/S, Mar'98 cum, on an IBM S20
running
        V4R2M0 for a production machine & an IBM 720 running V4R4M0 for a
test/dev
        machine.

        I finally got in this weekend to IPL my V4R2M0 system after I gave
QPGMR
        *ALL authority to the QSYS/QSYGETPH object. 

        The IPL finally started the NEWI daemon - which it never has since
putting
        on the Nov. 17, 1997 BPCS cum on.

        But I still am curious why I had to do this for V4R2M0 but not for
        V4R4M0???????

        V4R4M0 works just fine without the authority change.  Both machines
have
        basically the same QSTRUP program and I have the same 300 second
delay in
        the program immediately after starting up IP.

        V4R2M0 just needs the authority changed so the daemon will start.
