Predictive Changes SYSSTART during UPDATE

by Gary Robillard, Predictive Support

Due to some customer sites having multiple startup directives in SYSSTART.PUB.SYS, the job that installs

Predictive has been modified to recognize this. Previously, this Predictive job would just add the "STREAM

JPSMON.PRED.SYS" line to the end of SYSSTART. Now, the job modifies the SYSSTART file as follows:

1. Gather STREAMs device and printer queue for STREAMs and OPENQ commands if needed.

2. If SYSSTART.PUB.SYS does not exist, a new SYSSTART file is created on ldev 1 with the following contents:

STARTUP

WARMSTART

OPENQ LP

STREAMS 10

STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS

COOLSTART

OPENQ LP

STREAMS 10

STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS

****

3. If a WARMSTART, COOLSTART, RELOAD or UPDATE section exists and has commands, AND there are no other

STREAM commands AND there are no STARTSESS to OPERATOR.SYS commands, then do not modify the

SYSSTART file.

4. If there are STARTSESS commands but no STARTSESS to OPERATOR.SYS, then do not modify the SYSSTART

file.

5. The command STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS is removed from the STARTUP section and added to the

WARMSTART and COOLSTART sections. If no WARMSTART and COOLSTART sections exist, they are created and

contain these commands:

WARMSTART

OPENQ LP

STREAMS 10

STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS

COOLSTART

OPENQ LP

STREAMS 10

STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS

****

If the file NOSYSST.PRED.SYS exists, it prevents the Predictive job from doing any SYSSTART file processing

during installation. Therefore, if you do NOT want the "STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS" command added to your

SYSSTART file, create the NOSYSST.PRED.SYS file with a build command.

BUILD NOSYSST.PRED.SYS;DISC=1
