Re: running commands in restricted state -- will this work?

I don't believe this will work. The OS ends all subsystems so anything
running is ended and the submits would not work. The subsystem is down so no
job scheduler functions work.

What I did in the past was create a program for the console that displays
and simply waits for messages to arrive and then starts the functions
requested. This is how I did backup and anything else that required a
dedicated state.

I couldn't say 100% but I'd say very likely not. My thinking is that QCTL
is already in a started state when QSTRUP runs so the system isn't
technically in a restricted state.

I'd suggest writing a short CL that would be run as QSECOFR or equivalent.
The CL would do an ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED (do controlled ends in front of this
as needed) to get to a restricted state, wait a few minutes for everything
to end or add monitor code to look for the "system ended to restricted
state" message, do the RCLSTG *DBXREF, then either IPL or STRSBS QCTL.

Then SBMJOB SCDTIME(23:30) JOBQ(QCTL) to run it at 11:30 PM (or pick
another
date/time that works for the client).

That turns it into a one-time event (no editing QSTRUP at all) and in the
future you can modify the CL for a full reclaim or to do other
restricted-state processing or other general processing like PTF
application
before an IPL.

Hi, everyone:

A client of ours has a small model 170 running V5R2 ... it uses a
genunie IBM twinax console (so we cannot access the console for that
system remotely, e.g. when it is running in 'restricted state').

Recently, they saw some error messages indicating that they need to do a
RCLRSC *DBXREF ...

Can we automate this by adding some code to their QSTRUP *PGM to invoke
the RCLRSC *DBXREF before it starts up any subsystems, so that, the next
time they IPL, this will happen automatically?

Thanks,

Mark S. Waterbury
