Predictive Changes SYSSTART during UPDATE

Due to some customer sites having multiple startup directives in SYSSTART.PUB.SYS, the job that installs Predictive has been modified to recognize this. Previously, this Predictive job would just add the "STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS" line to the end of SYSSTART. Now, the job modifies the SYSSTART file as follows:

  1. Gather STREAMs device and printer queue for STREAMs and OPENQ commands if needed.

  2. If SYSSTART.PUB.SYS does not exist, a new SYSSTART file is created on ldev 1 with the following contents: 

    
  STARTUP
  **
  WARMSTART
  OPENQ LP
  STREAMS 10
  STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS
  **
  COOLSTART
  OPENQ LP
  STREAMS 10
  STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS
  ****

  3. If a WARMSTART, COOLSTART, RELOAD or UPDATE section exists and has commands, AND there are no other STREAM commands AND there are no STARTSESS to OPERATOR.SYS commands, then do not modify the SYSSTART file.

  4. If there are STARTSESS commands but no STARTSESS to OPERATOR.SYS, then do not modify the SYSSTART file.

  5. The command STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS is removed from the STARTUP section and added to the WARMSTART and COOLSTART sections. If no WARMSTART and COOLSTART sections exist, they are created and contain these commands: 

    
  **
  WARMSTART
  OPENQ LP
  STREAMS 10
  STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS
  **
  COOLSTART
  OPENQ LP
  STREAMS 10
  STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS
  ****

If the file NOSYSST.PRED.SYS exists, it prevents the Predictive job from doing any SYSSTART file processing during installation. Therefore, if you do NOT want the "STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS" command added to your SYSSTART file, create the NOSYSST.PRED.SYS file with a build command. 

  BUILD NOSYSST.PRED.SYS;DISC=1
