  • 1.  Is there method to automatically load user-defined system level symbolic variables during dSeries startup?

    Posted Oct 15, 2015 01:00 PM

    Is there method automatically load user-defined system level (ESP prefixed) symbolic variables during dSeries startup?

    I want to be able to have them loaded into the host object automatically during startup, prior to running of any events.

    Hi,

    You can define set of values in <server>\conf\DBInit\Sundry\Resources.Define.UserESP file and import the file in the server side. But these values will be loaded only when the server is cold-started.

    Please refer the R11.3 docs -  page 73 , section - "Defining a system-level symbolic variable" in DE Programming Guide Document for further details and recommendations.

     

    Hope it helps!

     

    Thanks and regards,

    We are trying to kick off a job when the server is restarted or an event.

     

    We are trying to kick off a job in D-Series when the main  CA Workload Service_7599  is started. So if the  server is rebooted
    we want to kick off a job within D-Series.  Is there  a way to hook an job up do fire off when the server is rebooted?  Let me know if you know of a way.

    We set up a monitor job to catch the service starting on a windows server but it will probably just fail if the server is stopped.   Is this possible.  ?

    Hi,

    I did not try this but you can do the following -

     

    1.  Create a event which has a "Text File Reading and Monitoring job". Look for text "Running as ***" in <server>\logs\tracelog.txt. The message comes up when server starts up.

    2.  Once this job completes , create an Alert to re-trigger the same event.

    3.  It will keep monitoring.

     

    Hope it helps!

     

    Thanks and regards,

    We created a monitor job that monitors when the Ca Workload 7599 service is started.

    Once the service is started the monitor job kicks off a javascript which checks the  OS-LOAD_ESP_VARIABLES defined by the programmers.

     

    It is working and it is the first job that runs when the server is rebooted.
