Is it possible to run the STRTCP and/or the STRTCPSVR commands in a comprehensive way at V5R4 ?

Hello everyone,

This question has to do with the TCP/IP services and the control that the
System have at V5R4 and
How the system resumes this control when the machine is placed in a
restricted state and the subsystems are being activated manually
(Is TCP/IP started as part of one of the QUSER or QSYSWRK jobs at V5r4 ...
?)

Our production machine runs 24/7 and rarely goes thru an IPL
Way back before V5R4 Auto Start Up program used to control the activation
of the TCP/IP services.


My question has to do with the following ...:

Our production machine is currently at V5R4
If the Machine goes thru a Normal IPL the System controls the STRTCP and
the TCP/IP services that are expected to be active ... and everything
works fine ...

But ...
If we have our Machine in a restricted state or If we have IPL the machine
manually and is in a restricte state ...
Is is possible to Start the TCP/IP services "only and only those" that
have been defined as allowable in the System TCP/IP setup display pannels
? No more, no less ..


The reason for the question is that we are looking at minimizing the
downtime in the case of a Disaster Recover/High Availability event and we
need to respond
with some level of coordination between the Primary and Secondary Machine
and the "New-Primary"/"New-Secondary" Machines .. and an IPL is not always
the best solution.

If we can get to resolve the TCP/IP issue .. it will be a great gain


Something like .. To TCP/IP Or/Not To TCP/IP ... Let the System do its
thing -or- The Operational Users need to exactly do their TCP/IP thing ...
that is the question ... !
