<h1 class="topictitle1">Autostart jobs</h1>
<div><p>An autostart job is a batch job doing repetitive work, one-time
initialization work that is associated with a particular subsystem, initializes
functions for an application, or provides centralized service functions for
other jobs in the same subsystem. An autostart job in the controlling subsystem
can be used to start other subsystems (as does the IBM-supplied controlling
subsystem). The autostart jobs associated with a subsystem are automatically
started each time the subsystem is started.</p>
<p>Since all autostart jobs are started when the subsystem starts, the value
specified for the maximum number of jobs in the subsystem does not prevent
the autostart jobs from starting. If the maximum number of jobs in the subsystem
is exceeded, no other jobs can be started. When enough autostart jobs have
completed so that the number of jobs running is below the maximum activity
level, other jobs in the subsystem can start. </p>
<p>The job description that is used for an autostart job is specified using
the Add Autostart Job Entry (<span class="cmdname">ADDAJE</span>) command. When the
subsystem is started, the job operates under the user profile name in the
specified job description. You may not specify the job description which contains
USER(*RQD). Because the autostart job operates under the user
profile that is specified by the job description, you need to control who
is allowed to change the job description.</p>
<p>If more than one autostart job is specified for a subsystem, all autostart
jobs are started immediately rather than one followed by another. If the maximum
number of jobs of the subsystem is exceeded, no other jobs can be started
in the subsystem until enough autostart jobs have completed so that the number
of jobs running is below the maximum activity level.</p>
