Start TCP/IP at IPL

To Start TCP/IP at IPL, you have two options, you need to add a pre-start job entry to the appropriate subsystem description.

Note: The described procedure applies to OS/400 V4R4 and earlier. Starting with V4R5, IBM has modified the qsyswrk subsystem description to automatically start TCP/IP at IPL time. No further action is necessary.

For V3, there is no appropriate job description for adding the entry, so it must be created prior.

crtjobd jobd(qgpl/qtocstrtcp) jobq(qsys/qsysnomax) TEXT('ADDAJE QSYSWRK to Start TCP/IP at IPL') user(qpgmr) rtgdta('runpty25') rqsdta('qsys/strtcp') log(2 0 *seclvl) jobmsgqmx(*sysval) jobmsgqfl(*wrap)

For V4, an appropriate job queue must be assigned to the already existing job description:

chgjobd jobd(qsys/qtocstrtcp) jobq(qsys/qsysnomax)

Next, fix authorities. This applies to all releases up to V4R4.

chgobjown obj(qtocstrtcp) objtype(*jobd) newown(qsys)
grtobjaut obj(qtocstrtcp) objtype(*jobd) user(qpgmr) aut(*use)
rvkobjaut obj(qtocstrtcp) objtype(*jobd) user(*public) aut(*all)

Finally, add the SBS entry. This also applies to all releases.
