Remove prestart job entries

If you decide that you do not want the servers to use the prestart job function, you must follow the instructions in this topic.

  1. End the prestarted jobs using the End Prestart Jobs (ENDPJ) command.

    Prestarted jobs ended with the (ENDPJ) command will be started the next time the subsystem is started if start jobs *YES is specified in the prestart job entry. If you only end the prestart job and do not perform the next step, any requests to start the particular server will fail.

  2. Remove the prestart job entries in the subsystem description using the Remove Prestart Job Entry (RMVPJE) command.

    The prestart job entries removed with the (RMVPJE) command are permanently removed from the subsystem description. After the entry is removed, new requests for the server will be successful, but will incur the performance overhead of job initiation.
