QSOC subsystem

The OptiConnect system jobs, as delivered by IBM®, are set up to run in the QSOC subsystem. You can find a description of the QSOC subsystem in the QSOC library. To view the description, enter the following Display Subsystem Description (DSPSBSD) command:

 DSPSBSD (QSOC/QSOC)

The subsystem description contains information on many items. The following information pertains specifically to the OptiConnect operating environment:

• Autostart job entries

  Autostart job entries list jobs that are initiated when the subsystem is started. An autostart job is defined for the QSOC subsystem and runs when the subsystem is started. This job initiates the OptiConnect Connection Manager job, SOCMGR.

  When you choose option 3 on the Display Subsystem Description display, you receive a display that lists the autostart entries. Figure 7 shows an example of the Display Autostart Job Entries screen.

• Job queue entries

  You can display the job queue entries by choosing option 6 on the Subsystem Description display. The Display Job Queue Entries display shows the queues from which jobs are taken when a given subsystem is run. Figure 8 shows an example of the job queue entries that are defined in the QSOC subsystem.

• Routing entries

  You can display the routing entries detail by choosing option 7 on the Subsystem Description display. Figure 9 is an example of a Display Routing Entry Detail display which shows a compare value of QYYCDTSU. This value is matched against the routing data field in the job description that is placed in the job queue for this subsystem. When the job is pulled off the job queue, the routing data is compared to all of the routing entries in the subsystem. When a match is found, the program that is listed for the routing entry is run. The program is run using the class that is specified for that job.
