1 START

o Start the secondary processor or processors (and any associated vector processors) (see /CPU). o Start the specified network service on the local node (see /NETWORK). o Start the system job queue (see /QUEUE). o Start the system job queue manager (see /QUEUE /MANAGER). o Add a zone to a running VAXft system (see /ZONE). 2 /CPU Starts the specified secondary processor or processors (and any associated vector processors). The /CPU qualifier is required. Applies only to OpenVMS multiprocessing systems. Requires CMKRNL (change mode to kernel) privilege. Format START/CPU [cpu-id[,...]] 3 Parameter cpu-id[,...] Specifies a decimal value representing the identity of a processor in a OpenVMS multiprocessing system. On a VAX 6000 system or an Alpha 7000 system, the CPU ID is the backplane slot number of the processor. If you do not specify a CPU ID and do not include the /ALL qualifier, the START/CPU command selects a single available processor to join the multiprocessing system. 3 Qualifiers /ALL Selects all remaining processors in the system's available set to join the multiprocessing system. /DEFAULT_CAPABILITIES Eliminates all previous capability (user and system) modifications for the specified CPU and reinitializes them with the values in the global initialization variable SCH$GL_DEFAULT_ CPU_CAP. Normally, user capabilities survive CPU shutdowns and restarts (not reboots), making the downtime as transparent to the user as possible. The CPU user capability bits are only initialized from SCH$GL_DEFAULT_CPU_CAP at the first boot of the CPU. (The system capability bits, however, are reinitialized to their defaults taken from SCH$GL_DEFAULT_CPU_CAP.) However, there may be times when the CPU needs to be returned to a known, consistent state. The /DEFAULT_CAPABILITIES qualifier mimics the behavior of the initial bootstrap of the CPU. 3 Examples 1.$ START/CPU The START/CPU command in this example selects a single inactive processor from the set of those processors that are currently available but inactive. When it completes its initialization, the selected processor becomes part of the system's active set and is capable of scheduling and executing processes. 2.$ START/CPU 4,7 The START/CPU command in this example selects the processors with CPU IDs 4 and 7, if they are currently available and inactive. When they complete initialization, these processors become part of the system's active set and are capable of scheduling and executing processes. 3.$ START/CPU/ALL The START/CPU/ALL command in this example selects all remaining inactive and available processors. When they complete initialization, these processors become part of the system's active set and are capable of scheduling and executing processes. 2 /NETWORK Starts or restarts the specified network service on the local node. The /NETWORK qualifier is required. Format START/NETWORK network-service 3 Parameter network-service Specifies the name of the network service to be started or restarted. 3 Example $ START/NETWORK DECnet This command starts the DECnet network service. 2 /QUEUE Starts or restarts the specified queue after it has been initialized. You also can use this command to change the options of the specified queue. The /QUEUE qualifier is required. Requires manage (M) access to the queue. Format START/QUEUE queue-name[:] 3 Parameter queue-name[:] Specifies the name of the queue to be started or restarted. 3 Qualifiers /ALIGN /ALIGN[=(option[,...])] Prints alignment pages to aid in aligning printer forms. Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. After the alignment is complete, the queue enters a paused state until you restart it by reentering the START/QUEUE command. Printing resumes from the point where alignment data started; that is, the task is backspaced over the pages printed for alignment. Possible options are as follows: MASK Specifies that input data is masked by replacing alphabetic characters with x's and numbers with 9s; nonalphanumeric characters are not masked. Mask characters allow you to prevent the printing of sensitive information. If you omit the MASK option, data is printed unaltered. n Specifies the number of alignment pages to print. The value of n can be from 1 to 20. By default, one page of alignment data is printed. /AUTOSTART_ON /AUTOSTART_ON=(node::[device][,...]) Designates the queue as an autostart execution queue and specifies the node, or node and device, on which the queue can be located. Both node and device must be specified for output queues. For batch queues, only node is applicable. In an OpenVMS Cluster, you can specify more than one node (or node and device) on which a queue can run, in the preferred order in which nodes should claim the queue. This allows the queue to fail over to another node if the node on which the queue is running leaves the cluster. For autostart queues, the START/QUEUE command activates the queue for autostart. The queue will begin processing jobs when the ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command is entered for a node on which the queue can run. This qualifier cannot be used with the /ON or /GENERIC qualifier. However, you can specify the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier for a queue previously created or started with the /ON qualifier. Doing so overrides the /ON option and makes the queue an autostart queue. For more information about autostart queues, see the chapter about managing queues in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. /BACKWARD /BACKWARD=n Restarts a print queue n pages before the current page; n defaults to 1. If you omit the page value, printing resumes at the top of the current page. Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. NOTE Using the START/QUEUE/BACKWARD=n command to restart a print job that uses Fortran carriage control and that was printed with the /NOFEED qualifier can have unexpected results, in particular: o The page positioning in the restarted job may not be correct: the output may not begin at the top of the page specified by n. o The output from the print job may be preceded by extra meaningless information. /BASE_PRIORITY /BASE_PRIORITY=n Specifies the base process priority at which jobs are initiated from a batch execution queue. By default, if you omit the qualifier, jobs are initiated at the same priority as the base priority established by DEFPRI at system generation (usually 4). The base priority specifier can be any decimal value from 0 to 15. /BLOCK_LIMIT /BLOCK_LIMIT=([lowlim,]uplim) /NOBLOCK_LIMIT Limits the size of print jobs that can be processed on an output execution queue. This qualifier allows you to reserve certain printers for certain size jobs. You must specify at least one of the parameters. The lowlim parameter is a decimal number referring to the minimum number of blocks that are accepted by the queue for a print job. If a print job is submitted that contains fewer blocks than the the lowlim value, the job remains pending until the block limit for the queue is changed. After the block limit for the queue is decreased sufficiently, the job is processed. The uplim parameter is a decimal number referring to the maximum number of blocks that are accepted by the queue for a print job. If a print job is submitted that exceeds this value, the job remains pending until the block limit for the queue is changed. After the block limit for the queue is increased sufficiently, the job is processed. If you specify only an upper limit for jobs, you can omit the parentheses. For example, /BLOCK_LIMIT=1000 means that only jobs with 1000 blocks or less are processed in the queue. To specify only a lower job limit, you must use a null string ("") to indicate the upper specifier. For example, /BLOCK_LIMIT=(500,"") means any job with 500 or more blocks is processed in the queue. You can specify both a lower and upper limit. For example, /BLOCK_LIMIT=(200,2000) means that jobs with less than 200 blocks or more than 2000 blocks are not processed in the queue. The /NOBLOCK_LIMIT qualifier cancels the previous setting established by the /BLOCK_LIMIT qualifier for the queue. /CHARACTERISTICS /CHARACTERISTICS=(characteristic[,...]) /NOCHARACTERISTICS Specifies one or more characteristics for processing jobs on an execution queue. If a queue does not have all the characteristics that have been specified for a job, the job remains pending. If you specify only one characteristic, you can omit the parentheses. Each time you specify the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier, all previously set characteristics are canceled. Only the characteristics specified with the qualifier are established for the queue. Queue characteristics are installation specific. The characteristic parameter can be either a value from 0 to 127 or a characteristic name that has been defined by the DEFINE /CHARACTERISTIC command. The /NOCHARACTERISTICS qualifier cancels any settings previously established by the /CHARACTERISTICS qualifier for the queue. /CLOSE Prevents jobs from being entered in the queue through PRINT or SUBMIT commands or as a result of requeue operations. To allow jobs to be entered, use the /OPEN qualifier. Whether a queue accepts or rejects new job entries is independent of the queue's state (such as paused, stopped, or stalled). When a queue is marked closed, jobs executing continue to execute. Jobs already pending in the queue continue to be candidates for execution. /CPUDEFAULT /CPUDEFAULT=time Defines the default CPU time limit for jobs in this batch execution queue. You can specify time as delta time, 0, INFINITE, or NONE. You can specify up to 497 days of delta time. If the queue does not have a specified CPUMAXIMUM time limit and the value established in the user authorization file (UAF) has a specified CPU time limit of NONE, either the value 0 or the keyword INFINITE allows unlimited CPU time. If you specify NONE, the CPU time value defaults to the value specified either in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if included). CPU time values must be greater than or equal to the number specified by the system parameter PQL_MCPULM. For information on specifying delta times, see the OpenVMS User's Manual or the topic SPECIFY Date_Time in online help. /CPUMAXIMUM /CPUMAXIMUM=time Defines the default CPU time limit for all jobs in this batch execution queue. You can specify time as delta time, 0, INFINITE, or NONE. You can specify up to 497 days of delta time. If the queue does not have a specified CPUMAXIMUM time limit and the value established in the UAF has a specified CPU time limit of NONE, either the value 0 or the keyword INFINITE allows unlimited CPU time. If you specify NONE, the CPU time value defaults to the value specified either in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if included). CPU time values must be greater than or equal to the number specified by the system parameter PQL_MCPULM. The time cannot exceed the CPU time limit set by the /CPUMAXIMUM qualifier. For information on specifying delta time, see the OpenVMS User's Manual or the topic SPECIFY Date_Time in online help. /DEFAULT /DEFAULT=(option[,...]) /NODEFAULT Establishes defaults for certain options of the PRINT command. Defaults are specified by the list of options. If you specify only one option, you can omit the parentheses. After you set an option for the queue with the /DEFAULT qualifier, you do not have to specify that option in your PRINT commands. If you do specify these options in your PRINT command, the values specified with the PRINT command override the values established for the queue with the /DEFAULT qualifier. You cannot use the /DEFAULT qualifier with the /GENERIC qualifier. Possible options are as follows: [NO]BURST[=keyword] Controls whether two file flag pages with a burst bar between them are printed preceding output. If you specify the value ALL (default), these flag pages are printed before each file in the job. If you specify the value ONE, these flag pages are printed once before the first file in the job. [NO]FEED Specifies whether a form feed is inserted automatically at the end of a page. [NO]FLAG[=keyword] Controls whether a file flag page is printed preceding output. If you specify the value ALL (default), a flag page is printed before each file in the job. If you specify the value ONE, a flag page is printed once before the first file in the job. FORM=type Specifies the default form for an output execution queue. If a job is submitted without an explicit form definition, this form is used to process the job. If no form type is explicitly specified with the FORM keyword, the system assigns the form "DEFAULT" to the queue. See also the description of the /FORM_MOUNTED qualifier. [NO]TRAILER[=keyword] Controls whether a file trailer page is printed following output. If you specify the value ALL (default), a trailer page is printed after each file in the job. If you specify the value ONE, a trailer page is printed once after the last file in the job. When you specify the BURST option for a file, the [NO]FLAG option does not add or subtract a flag page from the two flag pages that are printed preceding the file. For information on establishing mandatory queue options, see the description of the /SEPARATE qualifier. For more information on specifying default queue options, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. /DESCRIPTION /DESCRIPTION=string /NODESCRIPTION Specifies a string of up to 255 characters that is used to provide operator-supplied information about the queue. Enclose strings containing lowercase letters, blanks, or other nonalphanumeric characters (including spaces) in quotation marks (" "). The /NODESCRIPTION qualifier removes any descriptive text that may be associated with the queue. /DISABLE_SWAPPING /DISABLE_SWAPPING /NODISABLE_SWAPPING Controls whether batch jobs executed from a queue can be swapped in and out of memory. /ENABLE_GENERIC /ENABLE_GENERIC /NOENABLE_GENERIC Specifies whether files queued to a generic queue that does not specify explicit queue names with the /GENERIC qualifier can be placed in this execution queue for processing. For more information, see the description of the /GENERIC qualifier. /FORM_MOUNTED /FORM_MOUNTED=type Specifies the mounted form for an output execution queue. If no form type is explicitly specified, the system assigns the form "DEFAULT" to the queue. If the stock of the mounted form does not match the stock of the default form, as indicated by the /DEFAULT=FORM qualifier, all jobs submitted to this queue without an explicit form definition enter a pending state and remain pending until the stock of the mounted form of the queue is identical to the stock of the form associated with the job. If a job is submitted with an explicit form and the stock of the explicit form is not identical to the stock of the mounted form, the job enters a pending state and remains pending until the stock of the mounted form of the queue is identical to the stock of the form associated with the job. To specify the form type, use either a numeric value or a form name that has been defined by the DEFINE/FORM command. Form types are installation-specific. You cannot use the /FORM_MOUNTED qualifier with the /GENERIC qualifier. /FORWARD /FORWARD=n Advances the specified number of pages before resuming printing the current file in the current job; the default is 1. If you omit the page value, printing resumes at the top of the next page. Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. /GENERIC /GENERIC[=(queue-name[,...])] /NOGENERIC Specifies a generic queue. Also specifies that jobs placed in this queue can be moved for processing to compatible execution queues. The /GENERIC qualifier optionally accepts a list of target execution queues that have been previously defined. For a generic batch queue, these target queues must be batch execution queues. For a generic output queue, these target queues must be output execution queues, but can be of any type (printer, server, or terminal). For example, a generic printer queue can feed a mixture of printer and terminal execution queues. Use the /GENERIC qualifier to change the list of target nodes for a generic queue. The queue must have been initialized as a generic queue with the INITIALIZE/QUEUE/GENERIC command. If you do not specify any target execution queues with the /GENERIC qualifier, jobs can be moved to any execution queue that (1) is initialized with the /ENABLE_GENERIC qualifier, and (2) is the same type (batch or output) as the generic queue. To define the queue as a generic batch or output queue, you use the /GENERIC qualifier with either the /BATCH or the /DEVICE qualifier. If you specify neither the /BATCH nor the /DEVICE qualifier on creation of a generic queue, by default the queue becomes a generic printer queue. /JOB_LIMIT /JOB_LIMIT=n Specifies the number of batch jobs that can be executed concurrently from the queue. Specify a number in the range 0 to 255. /LIBRARY /LIBRARY=filename /NOLIBRARY Specifies the file name for the device control library. When you initialize an output execution queue, you can use the /LIBRARY qualifier to specify an alternate device control library. You can use only a file name as the parameter of the /LIBRARY qualifier. The system always assumes that the file is located in SYS$LIBRARY and that the file type is TLB. /NEXT Aborts the currently suspended print job and begins processing of the first pending job in the queue. Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. /NO_INITIAL_FF /NO_INITIAL_FF /NONO_INITIAL_FF (default) Specifies whether a form feed should be sent to a printer device when a queue starts. To suppress the initial form feed, use the /NO_INITIAL_FF qualifier. The /NONO_INITIAL_FF qualifier sends a form feed to the output device to ensure that the paper is at the top of a page before printing begins. /ON /ON=[node::]device[:] (printer, terminal, server queue) /ON=node:: (batch queue) Specifies the node or device, or both, on which this execution queue is located. For batch execution queues, you can specify only the node name. For output execution queues, you can include both the node name and the device name. The node name is used only in VAXcluster systems; it must match the node name specified by the system parameter SCSNODE for the VAX computer on which the queue executes. You cannot use the /ON qualifier with the /AUTOSTART_ON or /GENERIC qualifier. However, you can specify the /ON qualifier for a queue previously created or started with the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier. Doing so overrides the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier and makes the queue a nonautostart queue. /OPEN Allows jobs to be entered in the queue through PRINT or SUBMIT commands or as the result of requeue operations. To prevent jobs from being entered in the queue, use the /CLOSE qualifier. Whether a queue accepts or rejects new job entries is independent of the queue's state (such as paused, stopped, or stalled). /OWNER_UIC /OWNER_UIC=uic Requires manage (M) access to the queue. Enables you to change the user identification code (UIC) of the queue. Specify the UIC by using standard format as described in the OpenVMS User's Manual. /PROCESSOR /PROCESSOR=filename /NOPROCESSOR Requires OPER (operator) privilege to change the file name from the one with which the queue was initialized. Allows you to specify your own print symbiont for an output execution queue. You can use any valid file name as a parameter of the /PROCESSOR qualifier. The system supplies the device and directory name SYS$SYSTEM and the file type EXE. If you use this qualifier for an output queue, it specifies that the symbiont image to be executed is SYS$SYSTEM:filename.EXE. By default, SYS$SYSTEM:PRTSMB.EXE is the symbiont image associated with an output execution queue. The /NOPROCESSOR qualifier cancels any previous setting established by the /PROCESSOR qualifier, and causes SYS$SYSTEM:PRTSMB.EXE to be used. /PROTECTION /PROTECTION=(ownership[:access],...) Requires OPER (operator) privilege, or control (C) and execute (E) access to the queue. Specifies the protection of the queue. o Specify the ownership parameter as system (S), owner (O), group (G), or world (W). o Specify the access parameter as read (R), submit (S), manage (M), or delete (D). A null access specification means no access. If you include only one protection code, you can omit the parentheses. For more information on specifying protection codes, see the OpenVMS Guide to System Security. For more information on controlling queue operations through UIC-based protection, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. /RECORD_BLOCKING /RECORD_BLOCKING /NORECORD_BLOCKING Determines whether the symbiont can concatenate (or block together) output records for transmission to the output device. If you specify the /NORECORD_BLOCKING qualifier, the symbiont sends each formatted record in a separate I/O request to the output device. For the standard OpenVMS print symbiont, record blocking can have a significant performance advantage over single-record mode. /RETAIN /RETAIN[=option] /NORETAIN Holds jobs in the queue in a retained status after they have executed. The /NORETAIN qualifier enables you to reset the queue to the default. Possible options are as follows: ALL Holds all jobs in the queue after execution. ERROR Holds in the queue only jobs that fail to complete. A user can request a job retention option for a job by specifying the /RETAIN qualifier with the PRINT, SUBMIT, or SET ENTRY command. However, the job retention option you specify for a queue overrides any job retention option requested by a user for a job in that queue. /SCHEDULE /SCHEDULE=[NO]SIZE Specifies whether pending jobs in an output queue are scheduled for printing based on the size of the job. When the /SCHEDULE=SIZE qualifier is in effect, shorter jobs are printed before longer ones. When the /SCHEDULE=NOSIZE qualifier is in effect, jobs are printed in the order they were submitted, regardless of size. If you enter this command while there are pending jobs in any queue, its effect on future jobs is unpredictable. /SEARCH /SEARCH="search-string" Specifies that printing is to resume at the page containing the specified string. The search for the string moves forward, beginning on the page following the current page. During the search, consecutive tabs and spaces are treated as a single space, and character case is ignored. The string can be from 1 to 63 characters and must be enclosed in quotation marks (" "). Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. /SEPARATE /SEPARATE=(option[,...]) /NOSEPARATE Specifies the mandatory queue options, or job separation options, for an output execution queue. Job separation options cannot be overridden by the PRINT command. You cannot use the /SEPARATE qualifier with the /GENERIC qualifier. The job separation options are as follows: [NO]BURST Specifies whether two job flag pages with a burst bar between them are printed at the beginning of each job. [NO]FLAG Specifies whether a job flag page is printed at the beginning of each job. [NO]TRAILER Specifies whether a job trailer page is printed at the end of each job. [NO]RESET=(module[,...])Specifies one or more device control library modules that contain the job reset sequence for the queue. The specified modules from the queue's device control library (by default SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL) are used to reset the device each time a job reset occurs. The RESET sequence occurs after any file trailer and before any job trailer. Thus, all job separation pages are printed when the device is in its RESET state. When you specify /SEPARATE=BURST, the [NO]FLAG separation option does not add or subtract a flag page from the two flag pages that are printed preceding the job. For information on establishing queue options that can be overridden, see the description of the /DEFAULT qualifier. For more information on specifying mandatory queue options, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. /TOP_OF_FILE Resumes printing at the beginning of the file that was current when the output execution queue paused. Use this qualifier only when restarting an output execution queue from a paused state. /WSDEFAULT /WSDEFAULT=n Defines for a batch job a working set default, the default number of physical pages that the job can use. The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the user authorization file (UAF) of any user submitting a job to the queue. You also can specify this qualifier for an output execution queue. Used in this context, the /WSDEFAULT qualifier establishes the working set default of the symbiont process for an execution queue when the symbiont process is created. Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on Alpha or 512-byte pages on VAX. Note that the operating systems rounds up this value to the nearest CPU-specific page so that actual amount of physical memory allowed may be larger than the specified amount on Alpha. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the working set default value defaults to the value specified in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if included). /WSEXTENT /WSEXTENT=n Defines for the batch job a working set extent, the maximum amount of physical memory that the job can use. The job uses the maximum amount of physical memory only when the system has excess free pages. The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the user authorization file (UAF) of any user submitting a job to the queue. You also can specify this qualifier for an output execution queue. Used in this context, the /WSEXTENT qualifier establishes the working set extent of the symbiont process for an output execution queue when the symbiont process is created. Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on Alpha or 512-byte pages on VAX. Note that the operating system rounds up this value to the nearest CPU-specific page so that actual amount of physical memory allowed may be larger than the specified amount on Alpha. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the working set extent value defaults to the value specified in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if included). /WSQUOTA /WSQUOTA=n Defines for a batch job a working set quota, the amount of physical memory that is guaranteed to the job. The value set by this qualifier overrides the value defined in the user authorization file (UAF) of any user submitting a job to the queue. You also can specify this qualifier for an output execution queue. Used in this context, the /WSQUOTA qualifier establishes the working set quota of the symbiont process for an output execution queue when the symbiont process is created. Specify the value of n as a number of 512-byte pagelets on Alpha or 512-byte pages on VAX. Note that the operating system rounds up this value to the nearest CPU-specific page so that actual amount of physical memory allowed may be larger than the specified amount on Alpha. If you specify the value 0 or NONE, the working set quota value defaults to the value specified in the UAF or by the SUBMIT command (if included). Working set default, working set quota, and working set extent values are included in each user record in the system UAF. You can specify working set values for individual jobs or for all jobs in a given queue. The decision table shows the action taken for different combinations of specifications that involve working set size and working set quota values. Value Specified Value by Specified the SUBMIT for the Command? Queue? Action Taken No No Use the UAF value. No Yes Use value for the queue. Yes Yes Use smaller of the two values. Yes No Compare specified value with UAF value; use the smaller. 3 Examples 1.$ STOP/QUEUE LPA0 $ START/QUEUE/TOP_OF_FILE LPA0 The STOP/QUEUE command in this example suspends the job that is currently executing on the printer queue LPA0 and places that queue in the paused state. The START/QUEUE command releases the queue from the paused state. The /TOP_OF_FILE qualifier causes the job that was suspended to resume printing at the beginning of the file rather than at where it was interrupted. 2.$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE LPA0 . . . $ START/QUEUE/DEFAULT=FLAG LPA0 The INITIALIZE/QUEUE command in this example initializes the queue named LPA0. Later, the START/QUEUE command starts the queue. The /DEFAULT qualifier requests that a flag page precede each file in each job. 3.$ START/QUEUE/DEFAULT=FORM=LN01_PORTRAIT LN01_PRINT The START/QUEUE command in this example restarts the LN01_PRINT queue with the default form LN01_PORTRAIT. 4.$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/START/GENERIC=(A,B) MYQUEUE . . [new printers X and Y are brought in at a later date] . $ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT MYQUEUE $ START/QUEUE/GENERIC=(X,Y) MYQUEUE This example changes the list of target nodes for a generic queue. Note that the queue was previously initialized as a generic queue. 3 /MANAGER Starts the clusterwide queue manager for the queuing system and opens that queue manager's queue database files. The /QUEUE qualifier is optional, but the /MANAGER qualifier is required. By default, the command affects the default queue manager, SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER. Specify the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier to start a queue manager other than the default. For more information, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. Requires OPER (operator) and SYSNAM (system logical name) privileges. Format START/QUEUE/MANAGER [dirspec] 4 Parameter dirspec Specifies the directory location to contain the system queue and journal files of the queue database. The queue file has a file type of QMAN$QUEUES and contains queue definitions. The journal file has a file type of QMAN$JOURNAL and contains job and other information that lets the queue manager to return to its last known state should a system be stopped unexpectedly. These files must reside in the same directory. The default location of the queue and journal files is SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]. The optional dirspec parameter is used only for specifying an alternate location for the queue and journal files. The specification must include at least the device and directory name. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed in the directory specification. The directory you specify must be available to all nodes that can run the queue manager. If the directory specification is a concealed logical name, it must be identically defined on all nodes in the cluster. The location of the queue and journal files is stored in the master file of the queue database. You do not have to respecify the directory location with subsequent START/QUEUE/MANAGER commands. For information about changing the location of any of the queue database files, see the Guide to Maintaining a VMS System. 4 Description The START/QUEUE/MANAGER command has the following uses: o Enter the command START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_VERSION to create the queue database and initially start a queue manager. See the description of the /NEW_VERSION qualifier for more information. Once the queue manager has been started, it will remain running unless it is explicitly stopped with the STOP /QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command. o If the STOP/QUEUE/MANAGER/CLUSTER command has been executed, enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command to restart a queue manager. o In an OpenVMS Cluster, enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command with the /ON qualifier to modify the list of preferred nodes on which a queue manager can run. See the description of the /ON qualifier for more information. o In an OpenVMS Cluster, enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command to ensure that a queue manager process is executing on the most preferred, available node. If the queue manager is not running on the most preferred, available node, the queue manager will be moved to that node without interruption of service. If you are using the default node list (*), the queue manager will not move. For more information, see the description of the /ON qualifier. If the queue manager is in a location other than the default, and in OpenVMS Cluster environments with multiple system disks, you must define the logical name QMAN$MASTER. For instructions, see the chapter about the queue manager and queue database in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. If a queue manager does not start when you enter the START/QUEUE /MANAGER command, you will receive the following message: %JBC-E-QMANNOTSTARTED, queue manager could not be started If you see this message, search the operator log file SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG (or look on the operator console) for messages from the facilities QUEUE_MANAGE and JOB_CONTROL for information about the problem, as follows: $ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG /WINDOW=5 QUEUE_MANAGE,JOB_CONTROL 4 Qualifiers /ADD Creates an additional queue manager in the existing queue database. If the named queue manager already exists, the request will be rejected. /NAME_OF_MANAGER /NAME_OF_MANAGER=name Creates a non-default queue manager. The required name value may be up to 31 characters long and may be a logical. The name will serve as the identifier for the queue manager process and the portion of the database that it is managing. /NEW_VERSION /NEW_VERSION /NONEW_VERSION (default) Specifies that a new (empty) version of the queue database is to be created. This qualifier is required when initially creating and starting the queuing system. If you specify this qualifier and a queue database already exists, the new master and queue files of the queue database supersede existing versions of those files. However, the journal file of the existing queue database is deleted. Jobs and other information are lost. /ON /ON=(node[,...]) In an OpenVMS Cluster, specify the nodes on which a clusterwide queue manager can run. The default value for the node list is the asterisk (*) wildcard character, meaning that all nodes in the cluster are eligible to run the queue manager. If the node on which the queue manager is running leaves the cluster, the queue manager can automatically fail over to any available node in the cluster. However, to specify a preferred order in which the nodes should claim the queue manager, or to limit the nodes which can run it, you must specify the /ON qualifier. The node list you specify is stored in the queue database. Anytime the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command is entered and neither the /NEW_VERSION nor /ON qualifier is specified, the /ON list stored in the queue database remains unchanged. For highest availability, specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character as the last node in the node list to indicate that any remaining unlisted node can claim the queue manager, with no preferred order. If you do not specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character last in the node list, the queue manager can only fail over if one of the nodes in the list is available. However, if you want to exclude certain nodes from being eligible to run the queue manager, you cannot use the asterisk (*) wildcard character. You cannot specify the asterisk (*) wildcard character as part of a node name. Anytime the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command is entered (with or without the /ON qualifier), the job controller will check to see if one or more preferred queue manager nodes was currently or previously specified with the /ON qualifier. If one or more preferred nodes was specified, and the queue manager is running on a node other than the first available node of those specified, the queue manager process is moved from its current node and restarted on the first available preferred node. Despite the transition, queues on the running nodes are not stopped. All requests to the queuing system, for example, PRINT, SUBMIT, and SHOW ENTRY requests, will complete as expected. 4 Examples 1.$ START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_VERSION $ SHOW QUEUE %JBC-E-NOSUCHQUE, no such queue The START/QUEUE/MANAGER command in this example starts the queue manager and creates the queue and journal files in the default location, SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]. Because the asterisk (*) wildcard character is used as the default value for the list of nodes on which the queue manager can run, the queue manager will be able to fail over to any available node in the cluster. This command starts the default queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER because the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier is not specified. Both the SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE] location and the asterisk value for the /ON qualifier are stored in the queue database for future reference. The newly created queue database contains no queues or jobs. The SHOW QUEUE command shows that no queues are defined on this cluster. 2.$ START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_VERSION - _$ /ON=(SATURN,VENUS,NEPTUN,*) DUA5:[SYSQUE] The START/QUEUE/MANAGER command in this example creates the queue and journal files on the cluster-accessible disk volume DUA5, in directory SYSQUE. You must mount the disk before you enter the START/QUEUE/MANAGER command. The /ON qualifier specifies that the queue manager should run first on node SATURN. If SATURN leaves the cluster, the queue manager will attempt to fail over to VENUS. If VENUS is not available, the queue manager will attempt to fail over to NEPTUN. If NEPTUN is not available, the queue manager will fail over to any other available node in the cluster. 3.$ START/QUEUE/MANAGER/NEW_VERSION - _$ /ON=(SATURN,VENUS,NEPTUN,*) DUA5:[SYSQUE]) . . . $ START/QUEUE/MANAGER The START/QUEUE/MANAGER command in this example creates the queue database as shown in the previous example. Suppose the queue manager started on node SATURN. Later, SATURN is removed from the cluster, and the queue manager fails over to node VENUS. When SATURN rejoins the cluster, the second START/QUEUE/MANAGER command in the example is entered to move the queue manager back to node SATURN. The second START/QUEUE/MANAGER command does not specify the DUA5:[SYSQUE] parameter value or the /ON qualifier and its node list because those previously supplied pieces of information are stored in the queue database. The queue manager continues to use the queue and journal files found at the location stored in its database. The /ON list, stored as a result of the previous START/QUEUE/MANAGER command, also remains unchanged. 4.$ START/QUEUE/MANAGER DUA4:[SYSQUE] %JBC-E-QMANNOTSTARTED, queue manager could not be started $ SEARCH SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG /WINDOW=5 QUEUE_MANAGE,JOB_CONTROL %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 14-DEC-1994 18:55:18.23 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on QMUNGR %QMAN-E-OPENERR, error opening DUA4:[SYSQUE]SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$QUEUES; %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 14-DEC-1994 18:55:18.29 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on QMUNGR -RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 14-DEC-1994 18:55:18.31 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on QMUNGR -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available $ START/QUEUE/MANAGER DUA5:[SYSQUE] In this example, the first START/QUEUE/MANAGER command specifies device DUA4: as the location of the queue and journal files. The error message indicates that the queue manager does not start. The SEARCH command searches the operator log file for relevent messages, and reveals that device DUA4: does not exist. The second START/QUEUE/MANAGER command specifies the correct device name, DUA5:. 2 /ZONE Adds a zone to the running VAXft system. For more information on the START/ZONE command, see the VAXft systems documentation. Applies only to the VAXft system. Requires CMKRNL (change mode to kernel) privilege. Format START/ZONE
