Starting Schedulers

Overview

Scheduler startup is a task for NetBatch supervisors (users with execute access to the

NETBATCH program file). It involves:

•

Running the scheduler program NETBATCH by using the TACL RUN command

•

Executing the BATCHCOM commands ADD SCHEDULER and START

SCHEDULER (for a cold start) or the START SCHEDULER command only (for a

warm start)

Cold Starts

To cold start a scheduler:

1. Run NETBATCH:

35> NETBATCH /NAME $ABCD, NOWAIT, PRI 130, CPU 0/ $NB.ABCD !

2. Run the ADD SCHEDULER command:

36> BATCHCOM $ABCD; ADD SCHEDULER, BACKUPCPU 0,1

Scheduler added

3. Run the START SCHEDULER command:

37> BATCHCOM $ABCD; START SCHEDULER

Scheduler started

This command sequence purges the database specified in the RUN NETBATCH

command and creates a new database. For complete cold-start instructions, see Cold

Starting a Scheduler on page 3-15.

Warm Starts

To warm start a scheduler, run NETBATCH, then execute the START SCHEDULER

command (ADD SCHEDULER command omitted). This command sequence opens the

database specified in the RUN NETBATCH command:

24> NETBATCH /NAME $WXYZ, NOWAIT, PRI 149, CPU 2/ $BIG1.WXYZ

25> BATCHCOM $WXYZ; ALTER SCHEDULER, BACKUPCPU 2,3
