RE: Active subsystems -- MIDRANGE-L

Paul,

How does your QSTRUP program know which subsystems to start.
None will be active following an IPL, so QSCLASBS would return an empty list.
Am I missing something here?

Paul

I'm pleased to report that QWCLASBS is the way to go. We wrote a routine that runs in the job scheduler at noon every day.

The boot programs read that file twice, starting the IBM subsystems first, followed by the other subsystems.

Using that file sure simplifies the boot programs.

Thanks, all.

Maybe some info from QWCLASBS - List Active Subsystems ?

List,

I'm working on a project for a client to build a utility to bring their IPL programs (32 of them) under change control. Each program will be named the same as the box and deployed from Aldon to make the auditors happy. I don't want to have to sift through 32 different programs to determine the subsystems that need to be started during a reboot.

I know that TAATOOL has some commands allowing one to retrieve the status of a subsystem and the library from which it's started, but not all systems have that product.

Has anybody figured out a way using the standard OS to be able to write the active subsystem information to a file and have the IPL program read that?

Thanks
