Re: Changing the controlling subsystem.

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would do a DSPSBSD and step through the options and see if there are some 
customizations that you'll need to make to QBATCH.  For example, job queue 
entries.

And, as others have pointed out, if it is a dinky machine with minimal amounts 
of memory then you might want to leave it as QBASE.  Been awhile since we had a 
QBASE machine.

Does it have QSNADS as a separate subsystem?  If this is a concern then you 
might want to consider adding some STRSBS commands to a startup program.

We tend to not modify the IBM supplied default startup program.  Minor reason 
is that we have switched processors in the past and this would be one less 
thing I would want to check.  Also, with new release upgrades all the time what 
if IBM add's something to that program and you are always using your copy?  
Major reason is that we use a separate program.  We call it VARYON, (the name 
is a carry over from our S/36 days).  We don't necessarily want all of our 
stuff to start after an IPL.  We've had users get in and lock stuff during 
release upgrades, had to disconnect the LAN line.

Subject:        Changing the controlling subsystem.

Hey all,

We've got a new client who has been running all interactive jobs out of
subsystem QBASE forever.  Obviously this isn't the right way, and I'm
going to change thier controlling subsystem soon because of continuing
performance problems.

They have multiple satelite offices (6 lines), and about 60 users.

I've always changed the ctlsbs BEFORE anything else is set up, so my
question is this:  are there any gotchas I should be aware about?  No
batch jobqs are currently feeding into QBASE.

It's my understanding that you change the controlling subsystem system
value and re-ipl the machine, and it sets up QCTL and QINTER.  Is this
correct?

Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Rick
