autostart inactive,

Joseph Drozdz — Thu, 27 May 2004 08:21:16 GMT

I'm setting up a network que in VMS. I ran the tcpip$lprsetup and init the que on VMS. I can't get the autostart inactive to get the que started. I used this command
Init/que/autostart_on=(pack::)/start front1

Thanks for any input

Hi,

Please provide the error message you are getting. Also give the following command on your node

$ENABLE AUTO/QUE

HTH,
Thanks & regards,

I tried to enable auto/que as suggested but that did not change anything. As far as any error messages, there aren't any.

Here's what my que look like now>

Server queue FRONT1, stopped, autostart inactive, on PACK::, mounted form DEFAULT
/AUTOSTART_ON=(PACK::) /BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /LIBRARY=HP_LASERJET_5SI /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=TCPIP$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /RETAIN=ERROR

Joseph,
you have to start the queue first. A stopped queue will not be started by AUTOSTART.

$ start /queue FRONT1

autostart queues have to be started the first time they are defined. After that ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUE will start them.

Your command did include /start so I expect that enable autostart/queue should have startd the queue unless there is another problem preventing the queue from starting. Generally in such cases there will be an operator message and parhaps something in the log file.

I've tried all that was suggested. The que still reads autostart inactive. I checked the log file and there are no entries for the this que. I'm pretty stumped. Maybe I'll delete everything and do the setup again.

I found out what I was doing wrong:
Here is what worked for me. I ran tcpip$lprsetup on a different node but tried to run autostart_on a different node.

Thanks for all who took time out to answer.

INITIALIZE/QUEUE/start front1/AUTOSTART_ON=(pack1::)

I wonder.....
Why do you need autostart on an LPD-queue ?
TCPIP$LPD_STARTUP.COM runs when starting TCPIP at boottime.

I'm not sure, but I think that /auto is not
supported (or wasn't...)

I used to work in the VMS Support Team at
Digital/Compaq and I belive I asked the
question about /AUTOSTART (for failover) when the new feature using a GENERIC queue
for incoming LPDjobs came.....

Could be wrong.......

BTW,.....

Looking at your queue-setup.
Are you sure LPD is the correct type of queue for you and not TelnetSym ?
