Re: Unattended IPL not running -- MIDRANGE-L

I just completed a test of daylight saving time shift on a developmentmachine

at v5r4. I did not test how the job scheduler treats this.

01:59:56
01:59:57
01:59:58
01:59:59
02:00:00
01:00:01  (system sets time back 1 hour)
01:00:02

Job schedule entries will only run once.  I don't know how they do it - it
just works.  Even if you had it at 01:45, which, in theory, occurs twice
that night.  It will only run once.

Which brings us back to "adjustment".  I think others are right and that
"adjustment" ( the slow creep instead of an actual switch back in time) is
not how this is done.  Because I remember getting quite drilled on this
list last spring that even though the time does occur twice the job
schedule entries will only occur once.
And, in the spring, when the time is skipped, it will still run the job
schedule entries.

Re: Unattended IPL not running






Do you have the qtimzon and qutcoffset system values set up
to have the system change system time (V5r3 or V5r4)?
If so,
So what happens when the ipl scheduled at 2:00am?
I am assuming it's like this:
01:59:56
01:59:57
01:59:58
01:59:59
01:00:00  (system sets time back 1 hour)
01:00:01
59 minutes later
01:59:58
01:59:59
02:00:00 and job scheduler starts job to pwrdwnsys *restart *yes
ipl

Thanks Rob,
The value in QSTRUPPGM is QSYS/QSTRUP. I only see one QSTRUP program on
our system and it is in the library QSYS so I'd have to imagine that's
the only QSTRUP program available to be pointed at.
I did notice find that the keylock switch was in the auto position and
QSYSSCD wasn't running.
I turned the keylock switch to secure and I started QSYSSCD. Everything
else appears to be ok in regards to the dates and times. I scheduled the
next IPL to run at 2 AM this coming Sunday morning. Hopefully it works.
If not I plan on running it manually.
Thanks,
Griz

I always to a WRKACTJOB SBS(QCTL) and put a 5, then a 1 in front of the
subsystem itself.  On some machines I use QBASE instead of QCTL.
WRKSBSJOB
is not as good (for this use) because it doesn't allow you to select the

subsystem itself.
Your technique seems to match on my system though.  Perhaps your system
value, QSTRUPPGM is pointing to a different program?

But if you ARE having the issue with the schedule try the following:
GO POWER
1. Display power on and off schedule
Position cursor on title like of "Display Power On/Off Schedule".
F1=Help
Position cursor to "Scheduler problems".
Press Enter.
Read the following:

                 Power on and off schedule problems

If the power on and off schedule does not seem to be working, ask
the following questions:

o  Is the keylock switch on the system control panel in the Normal
   or Auto position?

o  Is the QSYSSCD job held?

   If yes, then release it.

o  Is the QSYSSCD job running or active?

   If not, stop and start cleanup.  If you don't want to use
   cleanup set 'Allow automatic cleanup' to Y and 'Time cleanup
   starts each day' to *NONE on the Change Cleanup Options display

o  Is the Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command part of your startup
   program?
  If not, add it to your startup program.  See the Work Management
  Guide, SC41-8078 on how to change your startup program.

      Note:  The shipped startup program comes with the STRCLNUP
      command.

o  Check the times specified.  Did you specify time based on the
  24-hour clock (5:00 p.m.  =  17:00)?

o  Do you have times specified on the correct days?

  Note:  Do not schedule 2 power ons in a row without an automatic
  power off between them or the second power on may not work.
