Use this subsection to help recover from a spooler problem.
Recovery for an Improperly Drained Spooler
If a spooler was improperly drained or suffered an abnormal shutdown, follow these
steps to recover from this situation:
1. Warm start the spooler.
2. Enter the SPOOLCOM JOB command:
) JOB
3. If you find a Job 0 listed as a result of the SPOOLCOM JOB command, the spooler
has a corrupted job map.
Perform the steps described in Rebuild the Spooler Control Files and the Job Bit
Map.
Rebuild the Spooler Control Files and the Job Bit Map
To rebuild the spooler control files and the job bit map, execute the same SPOOL
command you normally use for a warm start but add the REBUILD option after the
supervisor process name, and specify new values. These values should be the same
as those specified in your cold-start command file. To rebuild the spooler control files,
follow these steps:
1. Drain the spooler as described in Draining the Spooler on page 1-9:
> SPOOLCOM SPOOLER, DRAIN
2. Rebuild the spooler control files:
> SPOOL / IN control-filename ,
NAME $supervisor-process-name /
R[EBUILD]
, backup-cpu
, num-of-jobs , num-of-locations
, num-of-devices , num-of-collectors
, num-of-print-processes
, num-of-font-jobs
, num-of-batch-jobs
You must include the REBUILD option if you want to increase the values of any
cold-start parameters (num-of-jobs and so forth) in a warm start. If you do not use
this option, you must cold start the spooler to increase the values of any
parameters. You cannot decrease the values of any parameters.
3. Optionally add, delete, or modify spooler components.
