Start and Stop on OS/400

After an installation, the sub-system is started with the installation procedure. If the sub-system is stopped, or if the AS400 server is restarted, the sub-system is restarted. It is recommended to include the sub-system automatic startup in the startup of the AS400 server. In order for this to take place, QSTRUP must be modified. It is also possible to create a program that runs automatically when the sub-system has been started and that starts selected services. This program is not delivered during installation.

The starting or stopping procedure must be carried out under the administrator account that was installed on the Company.

The Company libraries must be declared in order for the Dollar Universe commands to function, with the help of the commands ADDLIBLE <COMPANY> and ADDLIBLE <COMPANY>SYS.

Start

Two steps allow for the Company to be started:

• Start the sub-system (if it is not already started) with the command:

  STRSBS SBSD(<COMPANY>SYS/<COMPANY>)

• Start the Company with the command:

  UNISTART +F4

An additional parameter allows for the data files to be reorganized (Yes) or not (NO) at startup. You can also run the command:

UNISTART REORGSTART(YES|NO)

The command WRKACTJOB allows the user to verify if the Dollar Universe sub-system and processes are started.

Stop

Two steps allow for the Company to be stopped:

• Stop the Company with the command:

  UNISTOP

• Stop the sub-system with the command

  ENDSBS SBSD(<COMPANY>)

The command WRKACTJOB allows the user to verify if the Dollar Universe sub-system and processes are stopped.

This procedure stops all Dollar Universe processes and engines, even if some were not started. This may result in warning messages in the general log of Dollar Universe.
