Avoid potential problems with the power-on and power-off schedule.
If the power schedule is not working:
- Make sure that the Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command is part of your startup
program.
- The automatic power scheduler uses a job called QSYSSCD to process the
requests for schedule changes. The Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command must be
run to start the QSYSSCD job. The IBM® -supplied startup program includes the
Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command. If you have your own startup program from
a previous release, it may not contain the Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command.
- Make sure that you specify Yes on the Change Cleanup (CHGCLNUP) command
to allow automatic cleanup. The QSYSSCD job will not start if you do not allow
automatic cleanup.
- Make sure that the Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command submits the QSYSSCD
job to the job queue specified in the Change Cleanup (CHGCLNUP) command.
- Check to see if the QSYSSCD job is running; it could be on a held job
queue.
- Make sure that the job queue, that the Start Cleanup (STRCLNUP) command
is submitted to, has the Maximum jobs parameter set to *NOMAX or a number
greater than 1. Because the QSYSSCD job always runs, the other jobs that perform
automatic cleanup and turn off functions are not able to start if the Maximum
jobs parameter is set to 1. To change the Maximum jobs parameter
on the job queue entry, use the Change Job Queue Entry (CHGJOBQE) command.
- Make sure the mode is set to Normal or Auto.
