START EXECUTOR Command
Use the START EXECUTOR command to start executors whose state is OFF or STOP.
The command makes the executors available for use by jobs and changes their states
to ON.
file-name
specifies a command output file. The file can be a device, a process, or a disk file.
For a disk file, BATCHCOM appends output if the file exists, but creates an EDIT
file if the file does not exist. If you specify / OUT / (that is, omit file-name),
BATCHCOM suppresses output.
executor-ID
is an executor name, or a range of executor names when specified with the
asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wild-card characters. An asterisk on its own
specifies all executors.
Considerations
•
The START EXECUTOR command is available to NetBatch supervisors only.
•
An executor whose state is OFF is not available for use and can be:
°
An executor added by the ADD EXECUTOR command but not yet started
°
An executor stopped by the STOP EXECUTOR command
°
An executor whose state is STOP is in use by a job but was the subject of a
STOP EXECUTOR command. When the job finishes, the scheduler stops the
executor and change the executor’s state to OFF.
•
You can omit the object keyword EXECUTOR from the START EXECUTOR
command only when EXECUTOR is the current assumed object. For more
information, see ASSUME EXECUTOR Command on page 6-71.
