Question

HOW to start jes2 withcold start

A. S JES2,,,PARM=’COLD,NOREQ’
B. S JES2,,,PARM=COLD
C. S JES2,,START=COLD
D. S JES2,,PARM=’COLD,REQ’”

Answer

To start JES2 with a cold start, the correct command is:

A. S JES2,,,PARM=’COLD,NOREQ’

Explanation

When starting JES2, you specify the START (S) command followed by JES2. The additional commas are placeholders for optional positional parameters. The critical part is specifying the correct parameters after PARM=.

For a cold start, you use ‘COLD,NOREQ’:

  • COLD specifies a cold start, which completely initializes JES2, ignoring any previous configuration or job information.
  • NOREQ specifies that JES2 is to be started without requiring operator intervention, allowing it to start automatically.

The other options are incorrect:

  • B is missing the quotes around the parameters and NOREQ
  • C uses the wrong syntax of START=COLD instead of PARM=’COLD,NOREQ’
  • D includes ‘REQ’ which would require operator intervention, contrary to the purpose of an automated cold start

So in summary, to perform an automated cold start of JES2, overwriting any previous state, the full correct command is:
S JES2,,,PARM=’COLD,NOREQ’
