Starting an i5 program from Domino

While resolving a LEI issue I got a technique from IBM to start an i5 
program from Domino that may be useful for you.  Below is a snip of the 
email from IBM.



If it does, we suspect a possible problem when bringing LEI up that might 
leave the LEICSM present but hung the entire time.  To address this 
possibility, I would recommend the following workaround, in which we 
effectively remove LEI from the ServerTasks= line of the notes.ini, and 
replace it with a script that manually loads LEI after the server has 
safely come up: 
1.  Create a CL program that will be called from the ServerTasks line 
(just like any other server task would).  The CL program will manually 
load the LEI task, but will only do it after a user-specified delay. 

2.  Here are the two lines that would be in the CL code: 

DLYJOB DLY(TimeInSecs) 
SBMDOMCMD CMD('LOAD LEI') SERVER(ServerName) 

where "TimeInSecs" is the amount of delay in seconds, which should 
represent a time that will equal total starting time for all the other 
tasks, and "ServerName" is the name of the Domino server to which the 
"load lei" command will be sent. 

3.  Name the CL program as LEID and store it in the QDOMINOxyz library. 

4.  Create a symbolic link, using "ADDLNK" from the object 
"/QSYS.LIB/QDOMINOxyz.LIB/LEID.PGM" (where "xyx" is the Domino Release 
Library) to the new link "/QIBM/ProdData/LOTUS/DOMINOxyz/LEID.PGM". 

5.  Then add the "leid" entry to the ServerTasks line of the Notes.ini. 
When the server starts, a delay will occur for the specified amount of 
time, and then "load lei" will start.
