Re: AS/400 vs. IBM i

From an IBM support page:

SCPF - Start Control Program Function
The SCPF system job is the central job during the operating system IPL,
providing the environment and directing the functions necessary to start
the operating system. SCPF starts all the other system jobs, (except QLUS,
which is started by QSYSARB) and brings the system up to a usable state.

SCPF remains active after the IPL providing an environment for the running
of low-priority and possibly long-running system functions. SCPF also runs
during the PWRDWNSYS processing and is the job that terminates the machine
processing. SCPF is one of the original system jobs on the operating system.

There is still a job named SCPF - might be related - it has the mount of
the various file systems, cleanup of things in QRPLOBJ, setting of
triggers in QSYS2, other stuff.

Not that I really know much other than what I see in the job log.

CPF is from around 1980 - Control Program Facility, IIRC - on the

System 38.

It's just an identifier at this point.
