Start a job

Interactive jobs are started when the user signs on to a workstation. You start prestart jobs and batch jobs by using iSeries™ Navigator or the character based interface, depending upon the circumstances.

• Start a batch job that is waiting in the job queue
  Occasionally you might need to force a job to start immediately. While moving the job to a job queue that is not busy is the most efficient method to accomplish this, there are some other methods that you can use.
• Start a prestart job
  Prestart jobs typically start at the same time the subsystem is started. You manually start a prestart job when all prestart jobs have been ended by the system due to an error or were never started during subsystem start up due to STRJOBS (*NO) on the prestart job entry. To start a prestart job, use the character-based interface.
