1  ENABLE
 

2  AUTOSTART
   Enables the autostart feature on a node for all autostart queues
   managed by the specified queue manager. By default, this command
   uses the /QUEUES qualifier.

   Requires OPER (operator) privileges.

   Use this command to automatically start on the node all active
   autostart queues that are capable of executing on or that fail
   over to the specified node. By default, this command affects the
   node from which it is entered. Specify the /ON_NODE qualifier to
   enable autostart on a different node.

   For more information on autostart queues, refer to the chapter on
   batch and print queues in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

   Format

     ENABLE AUTOSTART[/QUEUES]
 

3  Qualifiers
 

/NAME_OF_MANAGER

      /NAME_OF_MANAGER=name

   Specifies the name of the queue manager controlling the autostart
   queues you want to enable. The qualifier allows the autostart
   feature to be used differently for different sets of queues.

   If the /NAME_OF_MANAGER qualifier is omitted, the default queue
   manager name SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER is used.

   For more information on multiple queue managers, refer to the
   chapter on the queue manager in the OpenVMS System Manager's
   Manual.
 

/ON_NODE

      /ON_NODE=nodename

   Specifies a node in an OpenVMS Cluster system. Use this qualifier
   to enable autostart on a node other than the one from which you
   enter the command.
 

/QUEUES

   Specifies that autostart is to be enabled for queues. (This
   qualifier is used by default.)
 

3  Examples

   1.$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/BATCH/START-
     _$ /AUTOSTART_ON=SATURN:: BATCH_1
     $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES
        .
        .
        .
     $ DISABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1, capable of running on node SATURN.
     The /START qualifier activates the queue for autostart. The
     ENABLE/AUTOSTART/QUEUES command (executed on node SATURN)
     enables autostart on the node, causing the queue (and any other
     active autostart queues on the node) to begin executing jobs.

     The DISABLE AUTOSTART command (executed on node SATURN) stops
     autostart queues on the node and prevents any queues from
     failing over to the node.

     These commands only affect queues managed by the default
     queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER because the /NAME_OF_MANAGER
     qualifier is not specified.

     Because BATCH_1 is set up to run only on one node, the queue
     cannot fail over to another node and therefore is stopped;
     however, the queue remains active for autostart and will
     be started when the ENABLE AUTOSTART command is entered for
     node SATURN. No START/QUEUE command is needed to restart
     BATCH_1 unless autostart of the queue is deactivated with the
     STOP/QUEUE/NEXT or STOP/QUEUE/RESET command.

   2.$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/BATCH/START-
     _$ /AUTOSTART_ON=(NEPTUN::,SATURN::) BATCH_1
     $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=NEPTUN
     $ ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES/ON_NODE=SATURN
        .
        .
        .
     $ STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE=NEPTUN

     In this example, the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command creates an
     autostart queue BATCH_1. The /START qualifier activates the
     queue for autostart.

     The first ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command causes the queue
     to begin executing on node NEPTUN. The second ENABLE
     AUTOSTART/QUEUES command enables autostart on node SATURN to
     start all stopped active autostart queues on that node and to
     start any autostart queues that might fail over to that node.
 

     Later, suppose node NEPTUN must be removed from the OpenVMS
     Cluster system. The STOP/QUEUES/ON_NODE command stops all
     queues on node NEPTUN, and causes the autostart queue BATCH_
     1 to fail over to node SATURN. Because the queue is active
     for autostart, and because autostart has been enabled on node
     SATURN, the queue is automatically started on that node.

     This command only affects queues managed by the default
     queue manager SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER because the /NAME_OF_MANAGER
     qualifier is not specified.
