Adding autostart job entries

You can use the IBM Navigator for i interface or the character-based interface to add an autostart job entry. An autostart job starts automatically when the associated subsystem starts. These jobs generally perform initialization work that is associated with a particular subsystem. Autostart jobs can also perform repetitive work or provide centralized service functions for other jobs in the same subsystem.

IBM Navigator for i

Expand Work Management > Subsystem Descriptions.
Select the Properies action for the desired subsystem description.
Click on the Autostart Job Entries tab, then select the Add action from the Actions drop-down.

Character-based interface

Command: Add Autostart Job Entry (ADDAJE)

Example: This example adds an autostart job entry to subsystem ABC's description.

ADDAJE SBSD(USERLIB/ABC) JOB(START)
       JOBD(USERLIB/STARTJD)

Note: For the changes to take effect, the active subsystem must be ended and then restarted.
