Example: Use a standard processing program to start an application

A standard processing program is one way to start your application again using one database file as the notify object for all applications. This approach assumes that user profile names are unique by user for all applications using the standard program.

For this approach, the physical file NFYOBJP is used as the notify object and defined as:

Unique user profile name   10 characters
Program identification     10 characters
Information for
     starting again        Character field
                           (This must be large
                           enough to contain the maximum
                           amount of information for starting
                           programs again that require
                           information for starting again.
                           This field is required by
                           the application programs.
                           In the example, it is
                           assumed to be a length of 200.)

The file is created with SHARE(*YES). The first two fields in the file are the key to the file. (This file can also be defined as a data structure in RPG programs.)

• Example: Code for a standard processing program
  This is an example of using a standard processing program.
• Example: Code for a standard commit processing program
  The standard commit (STDCMT) processing program performs the functions required to communicate with a single notify object used by all applications.
• Example: Use a standard processing program to decide whether to restart the application
  This example is about a sample CL code for using a standard processing program to decide whether to restart an application after an abnormal IPL.
