XXINIT Partition Initiation Jobs

 

What causes the XXINIT Jobs to be put back in the Reader Queue after they are run at IPL Startup time? Also if the XXINIT Jobs are accidently deleted from the reader queue, is there anyway to get them back into the queue?

A special parameter in the first Job Entry Control Language statement of the jobs. For example, in the case of XXINITF2, the statement is the following:
?
* $$ JOB JNM=XXINITF2,CLASS=2,DISP=L
?
It tells POWER (the job scheduler) to run the job in partition F2 (CLASS=2) and to leave the job in the reader queue (DISP=L).

The (original) jobs are available on minidisk 191 of the DOSVS virtual machine on VM/370 CE. So if they are deleted from the reader queue of DOS/VS, you can punch them into the virtual reader of the DOSVS virtual machine before the IPL. That assumes you run DOS/VS as a guest under VM/370 CE. If you run DOS/VS native under Hercules, you will have to download them from VM/370 CE, either with IND$FILE or the card punch.?

For the Shedlock distribution, if you look in the SUPPORT directory, you
will find XXINIT.JCL.

You might have to drill down to find it.
