RE: What starts printer writers?

You should have some lines in your QSTRUP like this:

     QSYS/RTVSYSVAL SYSVAL(QSTRPRTWTR) RTNVAR(&STRWTRS) 
     IF COND(&STRWTRS = '0') THEN(GOTO CMDLBL(NOWTRS)) 
     CALL PGM(QSYS/QWCSWTRS) 
     MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000) 
NOWTRS: 

That program, QWCSWTRS should be rockin' through all your printer device 
configurations looking for ones that are set for ONLINE *YES and starting 
them up. If there's a problem, it should be in the job log of your QSTRUP 
job.

Note that TCP/IP starts up asynchronously in the QSTRUP. We've had some 
problems with remote writers starting because TCP/IP wasn't fully 
operational by the time QSTRUP hit the print writer startup. Not a big 
deal, just re-arrange your QSTRUP or even put a WAIT in it.

Sorry I left out part of this:

If you do a (WRKCFGSTS *DEV P01A01) on the 570 is it set for online at IPL
*YES?

Then take option 8, then option 5, page down until you see the online at 
IPL
value.  You can change it by using option 2 instead of option 5. 

Sorry for the confusion!

Subject: What starts printer writers?

Trying to figure out what starts printer writers.

Significant situational facts:

Two i5's.  Both running V5R3 and comparable ptf levels.
CHGIPLA on both machines both have STRPRTWTR(*YES)
DSPSYSVAL QSTRPRTWTR on both machines is set to 1=Start
DSPSYSVAL QSTRUPPGM on both machines point to QSYS/QSTRUP.
DSPPGM QSYS/QSTRUP on both machines looks like:
Program creation date/time . . . . . . . . . . . :   12/04/03  12:50:07
Type of program  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   OPM 
Source file  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   S000039122 
  Library  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     $BLDSS1 
Source member  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   S000039122 
Source file change date/time . . . . . . . . . . :   11/30/03  20:06:43

There is a writer P01A01 on both machines.

Doing a DSPLOG PERIOD((0915 011505)) JOB(P01A01) where the time and date 
is based on the start time/date of subsystem QCTL shows thus on our 520:
Job 494913/QSPLJOB/P01A01 started on 01/15/05 at 09:17:06
Nothing in it's joblog indicates where it was spawned from.

Doing a DSPLOG PERIOD((1900 011505)) JOB(P01A01) where the time and date 
is based on the start time/date of subsystem QCTL shows thus on our 570:
(nothing until the writer was manually started this morning)

****************************************************************************
*************************
Why is it started on the 520 and not on the 570?  Why did it not even 
attempt to start in on the 570?
****************************************************************************
*************************

DSPSBSD SBSD(QSPL)
All options are identical on both machines.
DSPJOBD JOBD(QGPL/QSPLSTRWTR)
All options are identical on both machines.
