RE: Autostart for dummies (was Re: User-Defined Subsystems)

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is an example of one of my subsystem startups:
PGM            
  SBMJOB     CMD(CALL PGM(SERVER/AUTODS)) JOB(AUTODS) + 
             JOBQ(SERVER/SERVER) USER(AUTODS) +              
             DSPSBMJOB(*NO) JOBD(SERVER/AUTODS)
  MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)

ENDPGM

It has several submit job commands but I did not need to list/change
them all.

The subsystem is:
                        Display Autostart Job Entries             
                                                            System
Subsystem description:   SERVER         Status:   ACTIVE          
                                                                  
Job            Job Description     Library
SERVER           SERVER            SERVER

And the job description is:
                            Display Job Description                 
                                                             System:

It is not really that hard.  Now you have to make sure that one the
subsystem starts it has access to all the object involved.  Most of the
time the subsystem cannot access the startup job description or program
do to security restrictions.  Subsystems run under QSYS so that profile
will need at least read / execute access to the objects.  The subsystem
description will run the startup job under a different profile if
specified.  If it does not start, check the logs for the startup job d.

How? I tried to do that in the model I described in my last post; the 
subsystem started, but the server didn't.

See my previous post for details.

Why would it not be working?
