RE: Prestart & Autostart

let's see...

Autostart jobs are to the 400 as are autoexec.bat jobs are to PCs. The are
called when a sbs starts. For a TCP/IP job it could be used to start the
listener job that might be needed to be active as a continuously running job
in the sbs. To setup a  autostart job, create a JOBD that has all that is
needed to get the job running. This could be as simple as adding "CALL PGMA"
to the RQSDTA field. Once the JOBD is setup use the ADDAJE cmd to create the
autostart job in the sbs of your choice.

Prestart jobs are great for comm based programs. They go out and do some of
the startup overhead prior to having the actual job to run. Things like what
sbs to run in and the like. this cuts down on startup time when a request
comes in to start a new job.

You use the ADDPJE cmd to set it up. You might have some runing already. Do
a WRKACTJOB then use F14 Include to see type PJ.

Hope this helps

Folks:

Can anyone point me to a resource on setting up prestart & autostart jobs
and what they are good for?

I'm trying to see if we can use prestart & autostart jobs to assist with our
TCP/IP project.

Thanks!

david
