MPF exit? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John McKown Sent: Monday, December 04, 2017 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] STC @ IPL - how to wait for OMVS to be initialized with no automation product.
This is for another system, not my employer's, which I sometime help to customize. I need to run a task at IPL time. The simplest way is to use the COMMNDxx member of PARMLIB to do a START command. But the program I'm running requires UNIX to be completely initialized. If I had automation, I'd do the START when the BPXI004I message is issused. But I don't have automation. I don't see any BPX1* callable UNIX service which says "wait for UNIX to become ready and then return". I do see an ENFREQ request which can receive the "UNIX initiation complete" message, but an ENFREQ REQUEST=LISTEN is a PITA in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just really lazy. Any ideas? -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it.
