Problems with pcml Autostart jobs not ending

Hello,



I have asked this question before and received several answers. We
chose to try the simplest answer and the solution seems to work, but I
have questions about the results.



Review of the problem:



We have an RPGLE shipment posting program that gets called by a Java
program. These jobs are sent to the QUSRWRK subsystem. Each time the
Java program calls the RPGLE program, a new job is started in QUSRWRK.
The old problem was that they never completed and the only way to get
them to go away was to shutdown the subsystem.



The Java code snippet as it now stands with the suggested correction:



// Call PSHPINF API
pcml.callProgram("PSHPINF"); // program name

// Disconnect //A BR02027
sys.disconnectAllServices(); //A BR02027 <== This is the change we
added.





In testing the new version, the subsystem jobs seem to go away, but
there is something funny going when I look at the job log.



DSPJOB Opt 3 - Display job run attributes, if active

(No run attributes, the job is not active) <== Looks good so
far



DSPJOB Opt 11 - Display call stack, if active

(No call stack) <==
Looks good



DSPJOB option 10 - Job log if active <== This is kind of
strange. Job log did not go to spool file

Message . . . . : Waiting on event not valid at this time.


Cause . . . . . : A thread attempted to wait for a specific event, but


previously the thread indicated not to be interrupted by any event.


Recovery . . . : If this is an interactive job, sign off and sign on
again.

Report the problem using the Analyze Problem (ANZPRB) command.


Technical description . . . . . . . . : The wait on event instruction
was

sent while the thread was masked. To help determine the cause of the
error,

turn trace on (TRCJOB command) before you re-create this error.






This seems to keep part of the job active so the joblog does not get
written to the spool file. Should we be concerned about this? Should
we be doing something differently?





I also have a question about two other messages in the job log.



Message ID . . . . . . : CPC1210 Severity . . . . . . . : 50


Message type . . . . . : Completion


Date sent . . . . . . : 10/29/08 Time sent . . . . . . :

Message . . . . : Prestart job ending due to maximum use.


Cause . . . . . : The number of program start requests that the
prestart job

handled was the maximum defined by the MAXUSE parameter on the
prestart job

entry in the subsystem description.


Recovery . . . : The MAXUSE value can be changed by the Change
Prestart Job

Entry (CHGPJE) command if needed.





As far as I can tell, we already have this set to *NOMAX

The other message is probably associated with the CPC1210 message above

Sorry for the lengthy email, but wanted to present all the data.



Thanks for your help.
