<H2>Restricted State</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>At times you may need to perform work on your iSeries<SUP>(TM)</SUP> server without interference from other users. Performing that work while
|
|
the system is in the restricted state allows you to do just that.</P>
|
|
<P>Restricted state is a condition where all the subsystems on the iSeries
|
|
server have ended and only a single user job remains active in the controlling
|
|
subsystem. The controlling subsystem is the subsystem that starts automatically
|
|
when the system starts and is specified by the
|
|
<a href="../rzakz/rzakzqctlsbsd.htm">
|
|
Controlling Subsystem (QCTLSBSD)</a>
|
|
system value. IBM<sup>(R)</sup> ships two subsystem descriptions that can be used as
|
|
the controlling subsystem: QBASE and QCTL. The iSeries Information Center
|
|
contains additional information on the
|
|
<a href="../rzaks/rzakssbsshipped.htm">
|
|
subsystems shipped with the system.</a></P>
|
|
<P>Some system commands require that the system is in the restricted state
|
|
in order to run; for example,
|
|
<a href="../cl/savsys.htm">
|
|
Save System (SAVSYS) </a> and
|
|
<a href="../cl/rclstg.htm">
|
|
Reclaim Storage (RCLSTG) </a>
|
|
for the system and basic user auxiliary storage pools (ASPs).
|
|
Restricted
|
|
state ensures that other functions are not interfering with the system's
|
|
access to objects and that the objects are not changing while the system
|
|
commands are running.</P>
|
|
<P>In addition, you may want to take the system to the restricted state before
|
|
powering down. This ensures that all user work has ended before the system
|
|
loses power. If a problem occurs while the user jobs are ending, the system
|
|
operator can provide assistance from the active job that remains. This
|
|
cannot be done when the
|
|
<a href="../cl/pwrdwnsys.htm">
|
|
Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS) </a>command is called first
|
|
because the command issuer's job is ended along with all the other user
|
|
jobs.</P>
|
|
<P>Since all the other jobs that run in subsystems are ended when the system
|
|
goes into the restricted state, functions that run in these jobs are not
|
|
available during this time. For example, the TCP/IP servers that run in
|
|
the QSYSWRK subsystem are not available while the system is in the restricted
|
|
state. System jobs remain active while the system is in the restricted
|
|
state to handle critical system functions. However, not all functions provided
|
|
by system jobs are available. For example, the QJOBSCD system job will
|
|
not submit jobs for job schedule entries while the system is in the restricted
|
|
state.</P>
