    You can run this CL command from an IBM i command line:

      'profile_root' '-server' 'job manager')) JOB(server)
      JOBD(QWAS85/QWASJOBD) JOBQ(QWAS85/QWASJOBQ) USER(QEJBSVR) LANGID(*USRPRF)
      CNTRYID(*USRPRF) CCSID(*USRPRF) OUTQ(QWAS85/QWASOUTQ) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)

    • The profile_root element is the profile root of the job manager.
    • The job manager element is the name of the job manager server that you want to start.
