QCTL - restricted state

["Steinmetz, Paul" <PSteinmetz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Following an IPL to restricted state, I would like to submit a BRMS system save to the controlling subsystem, QCTL.
However, even though QCTL is up, its state is restricted, so the save doesn't run, jobq QCTL not active.
                      Total     Subsystem  Active        
Opt  Subsystem     Storage (M)   Number     Jobs   Status
     QCTL                  .00   013885        1   RSTD  
I need to STRSBS QCTL, but this will start the process of bringing up the entire system, QSTUPJD is called.
It has been suggested to have a 2nd QSTRUP, that only starts QCTL and changes QSTRUP back to normal.
One issue is that QSTRUPJD is not called until you come out of restricted state.
Instead of restricted state IPL, I tested a QSTRUP pgm that only starts QCTL.
However, QSYSWRK starts by default, QSYSWRK auto start entries then start QHTTPSVR, Q1ABRMNET, ZENDSVR.
At this point, sys is not up, but also not restricted.
Has anyone else experimented with QCTL and restricted state?
