Re: Autostart PASE server in QHTTPSVR *SBS using ADDAJE

I am trying to configure nginx to automatically start when the

Here's what I've done:

Caution: *RTGDTA [as a redirect to the Routing Data] is close in appearance, but quite different from meaning\function of the what the value *RQSDTA [as a redirect to the Request Data] would imply [if that special value had been allowed in that context].

ENDSBS SBS(QHTTPSVR) OPTION(*IMMED)

STRSBS SBSD(QHTTPSVR/QHTTPSVR)

The tutorial only took me through the CRTJOBD and ADDAJE command.
Then I got a routing entry mismatch error so I did the ADDRTGE
command and that fixed it.

An alternative would have been to ensure the specified Routing Data (RTGDTA) referenced an exiting Routing Entry; i.e. specified a value compatible with the Compare Value and Start Position already defined in an existing Routing Entry for that Subsystem Description (SBSD).

Now I am getting the below error and am unsure what I should do
because I *thought* it would invoke the command specified in the
CRTJOBD RQSDTA, but it is trying to find a *PGM.

The error is per trying to find the program per the PGM(*RTGDTA) on the ADDRTGE request; given no program name was offered in the Routing Data, none can be found -- further explained later.

For the record, I did not [visit nor] read the story.

Thoughts?

The Add Routing Entry (ADDRTGE) shown, asks that the program named in the Routing Data should be invoked when the job starts. The Create Job Description (CRTJOBD) did not specify any Routing Data (RTGDTA); when not specified in the creation of Job Description (JOBD), the default is : RTGDTA(QCMDI)

Note: Program To Call (PGM) - Help
...
*RTGDTA
The program name is taken from the routing data that
was supplied and matched against this entry.
A qualified program name is taken from the routing data
in the following manner:
the program name is taken from positions 37 through 46,
and the library name is taken from positions 47 through 56.
...

Because only the first five positions have data, both of the name values [program and library], as extracted from the Routing Data, are blank; thus the msg CPC1116 showing the blank library and program names.

Because the Request Data (RQSDTA) specified in the creation of the Job Description (JOBD) is the CL command QSH, presumably the desire would be that the Routing Program that should be invoked would be a CL _Request Processor_, with the most obvious choice being QCMD.
