Re: Unattended IPL not running

Does it go to 02:00:00 before changing back to 01:00:00 ?  If so hat may be 
enough to kick off a job scheduled for 02:00:00
To be sure I never schedule anything on a Sunday for 02:00:00
Use 02:00:01 or 02:01:00.
If time moves ahead an hour from 02:00:00 to 03:00:00  it will run as soon as 
the time changes.
If time moves back an hour there's only one 02:00:01 or 02:01:00
And even if you had something scheduled for 01:30:00 it wouldn't run twice when 
time jumps back because first execution will set the "Next Scheduled Date" for 
a day/week/month in the future.

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
