4 STARTOSS Utility
The STARTOSS utility starts the OSS processes, servers, and filesets named in the
OSSINFIL file. If the OSSINFIL file does not exist, STARTOSS creates it by copying
the OSSINF file (for a description of the OSSINF file, see Table 1-2 on page 1-2).
Usage Considerations:
•
HP recommends that you log on with a user ID in the SUPER group ID to run
STARTOSS.
•
STARTOSS is on the installation subvolume ZOSSINS. You must run STARTOSS
from ZOSSINS.
•
STARTOSS no longer expects the SPI definition files to be installed on $SYSTEM
if the EASYSETUP^EMSVOL param is used (see SPI Definition Files on
page 1-6).
Running STARTOSS
Run STARTOSS either by entering this command at a TACL prompt or by putting this
command in the operating system’s start-up file:
If these processes are not running, STARTOSS starts them from TACL:
$ZSMP and $NULL are only started if the EASYSETUP^STARTUP param is set with
$NULL, $ZSMP or both.
If these processes and filesets specified by the OSSINFIL file are not running,
STARTOSS starts them.

You can add files to the OSSINFIL file. For instructions, see the Open System Services

generic processes, STARTOSS starts them from TACL. If these processes are
