The SJC$_START_QUEUE_MANAGER request has the following five uses:
You can specify the following input value or Boolean item codes:
SJC$_ADD_QUEUE_MANAGER
SJC$_NEW_VERSION
SJC$_QUEUE_DIRECTORY
SJC$_QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME
SJC$_QUEUE_MANAGER_NODES
You can specify the following input value item code:
SJC$_ACCOUNTING_TYPES
Besides stopping all queues on a specific node, this request aborts each job that is currently executing. Aborted jobs that are restartable are requeued. Queues for which an autostart list has been specified fail over to the first available node in the list for which autostart is enabled.
You can specify the following input value item codes:
SJC$_QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME
SJC$_SCSNODE_NAME
You must specify the following input value item code:
SJC$_QUEUE
You can specify the following input value item code:
SJC$_QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME
You must specify one of the following input value item codes:
SJC$_ENTRY_NUMBER
SJC$_QUEUE
If SJC$_QUEUE queue is specified, then you must also specify one of the following:
SJC$_ENTRY_NUMBER
SJC$_JOB_NAME
You can specify the following output value item code:
SJC$_JOB_COMPLETION_STATUS
You must specify the following input value item code:
SJC$_ACCOUNTING_MESSAGE
SJC$_ACCOUNT_NAME
Input value item code that specifies the account name of the user on behalf of whom the request is made. The buffer must specify a string from 1 to 8 characters. By default, the account name for batch and print jobs is taken from the requesting process.You need CMKRNL privilege to use this item code.
(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)
SJC$_ACCOUNTING_MESSAGE
Input value item code. It causes the contents of the buffer to be placed in a "user message" accounting record. The buffer must specify a string from 1 to 255 characters.(Valid for SJC$_WRITE_ACCOUNTING function code)
SJC$_ACCOUNTING_TYPES
Input value item code. It enables or disables accounting-record types. When an accounting-record type is enabled, the event designated by that type will be recorded in the accounting record. The buffer must contain a longword bit vector wherein each bit set specifies an accounting-record type. Undefined bits must be 0.The $SJCDEF macro defines the symbolic names for the accounting-record types. Following is a list of each accounting-record type and the system event to which it corresponds:
Accounting-Record Type Corresponding System Event SJC$V_ACCT_IMAGE Image terminations SJC$V_ACCT_LOGIN_FAILURE Login failures SJC$V_ACCT_MESSAGE User messages sent SJC$V_ACCT_PRINT Print job terminations SJC$V_ACCT_PROCESS Process terminations The following accounting-record types, when enabled, provide additional information about image and process termination; specifically, they describe the type of image or process that has terminated:
Accounting-Record Type Type of Image or Process SJC$V_ACCT_BATCH Batch process SJC$V_ACCT_DETACHED Detached process SJC$V_ACCT_INTERACTIVE Interactive process SJC$V_ACCT_NETWORK Network process SJC$V_ACCT_SUBPROCESS Subprocess (Valid for SJC$_START_ACCOUNTING, SJC$_STOP_ACCOUNTING function codes)
SJC$_ADD_QUEUE_MANAGER
Boolean item code. It specifies that a new queue manager process should be defined in the master file. The operating system allows no more than five queue managers in a cluster.(Valid for SJC$_START_QUEUE_MANAGER function code)
SJC$_AFTER_TIME
SJC$_NO_AFTER_TIME
The SJC$_AFTER_TIME item code is an input value item code. It specifies that the job can execute only if the system time is greater than or equal to the quadword time value contained in the buffer. The buffer must contain either an absolute time value or a delta time value; $SNDJBC converts delta time values to absolute time values by adding the current system time. The time value specified must be in the future, or it will be set to the current time.The SJC$_NO_AFTER_TIME item code is a Boolean item code. It cancels the effect of a SJC$_AFTER_TIME item code previously specified for the job; the job can execute immediately. It is the default.
(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_JOB, SJC$_CREATE_JOB, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)
SJC$_ALIGNMENT_MASK
Boolean item code. It is meaningful only for output execution queues and only when the SJC$_ALIGNMENT_PAGES item code is also specified. The SJC$_ALIGNMENT_MASK item code causes the data printed on form alignment pages to be masked: all alphabetic characters are replaced with the letter X and all numeric characters with the number 9.(Valid for SJC$_START_QUEUE function code)
SJC$_ALIGNMENT_PAGES
Input value item code. It is meaningful only for output execution queues. It specifies that the queue be placed in form-alignment state and that a number of alignment pages be printed. The buffer must contain a longword value in the range 1 to 20; this value specifies how many alignment pages are to be printed.(Valid for SJC$_START_QUEUE function code)
SJC$_AUTOSTART_ON
Input value item code. For a batch queue, it uses as its value a comma-separated list of the nodes on which the specified queue can be located. Each node name must be followed by a double colon (::).For an output queue, it uses as its value a comma-separated list of the names of the nodes and devices to which the specified queue's output can be sent. Each node name must be followed by a double colon, and each device name can be followed by the optional colon [:].
By specifying this item code, you designate a queue as an autostart queue. If you specify more than one node name (within an OpenVMS Cluster environment), the queue can automatically fail over if the node on which the queue is running is removed from the cluster.
This item code cannot be used with the SJC$_SCSNODE_NAME and SJC$_DEVICE_NAME item codes.
For more information, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)
SJC$_BASE_PRIORITY
Input value item code. It is meaningful only for execution queues. It specifies the base priority of batch processes initiated from a batch execution queue or of a symbiont process connected to an output execution queue. A symbiont process can control several queues; however, the base priority of the symbiont process is established by the first queue to which it is connected. The buffer must contain a longword value in the range 0 to 15; this value specifies the base priority.By default, the base priority is the value of the system parameter DEFPRI.
(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_QUEUE, SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)
SJC$_BATCH
SJC$_NO_BATCH
The SJC$_BATCH item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that the queue is a batch execution queue or a generic batch queue, and thus can process only batch jobs.The SJC$_BATCH, SJC$_PRINTER, SJC$_SERVER, and SJC$_TERMINAL item codes are mutually exclusive. If none of these item codes are specified, the default is SJC$_PRINTER.
The SJC$_NO_BATCH item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that the queue is not a batch queue but rather an output execution or generic output queue, and thus can process only print jobs. It is the default.
For the SJC$_START_QUEUE function code, SJC$_BATCH and SJC$_NO_BATCH are supported for compatibility with VAX VMS Version 4.n, but might not be supported in the future.
(Valid for SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)
SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME
SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER
SJC$_NO_CHARACTERISTICS
The SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME and SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER item codes are both input value item codes. Both specify characteristics for jobs or queues, and they can be used interchangeably. The characteristics are user defined.The SJC$_DEFINE_CHARACTERISTIC and SJC$_DELETE_CHARACTERISTIC function codes include and delete, respectively, a specified characteristic from the system job queue file. A job cannot execute on an execution queue unless the queue possesses all the characteristics possessed by the job; the queue can possess additional characteristics and the job will still execute.
The SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NAME and SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER item codes can appear as many times as necessary in a single call to $SNDJBC; the set of characteristics so defined in the call completely replaces the set of characteristics defined by a prior call. The SJC$_NO_CHARACTERISTICS item code cancels all defined characteristics for the job or queue. By default, a queue or job has no defined characteristics.
The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_). If the string is a logical name, SYS$SNDJBC translates it iteratively until the equivalence string is found or the number of translations allowed by the system has been performed. The maximum length of the final character string is 31 characters; spaces, tabs, and null characters are ignored.
For SJC$_CHARACTERISTIC_NUMBER, the buffer must contain a longword value in the range 0 to 127. This number identifies a characteristic.
SJC$_NO_CHARACTERISTICS is a Boolean item code.

SJC$_CLOSE_QUEUE
The SJC$_CLOSE_QUEUE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that jobs cannot be entered in the queue. If the queue is closed, you can specify the SJC$_OPEN_QUEUE item code to permit jobs to be entered in the queue. By default, the queue is open.Whether a queue is open or closed is independent of any other queue states (such as paused, stalled, stopped).
(Valid for SJC$_ALTER_QUEUE, SJC$_CREATE_QUEUE, SJC$_START_QUEUE function codes)
SJC$_CPU_DEFAULT
SJC$_NO_CPU_DEFAULT
The SJC$_CPU_DEFAULT item code is an input value item code. It is meaningful only for batch execution queues. It specifies the default CPU time limit in 10-millisecond units.

The SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NAME and SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NUMBER item codes are input value item codes. They specify the default form for a specific output queue by name and by number, respectively.When you specify a default form for an output queue, the queue uses the queue-specific default form, rather than the systemwide default form, to process any job that does not explicitly specify a form.
For SJC$_DEFAULT_FORM_NAME, the buffer must specify a form name. The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_).

SJC$_DELETE_FILE
SJC$_NO_DELETE_FILE
The SJC$_DELETE_FILE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that a file should be deleted after the job completes. The file that is deleted is the batch or print file submitted for execution. You cannot specify this item code with the SJC$_ALTER_JOB function code, which alters the parameters for an already existing job; you can make a file deletion request only when a job is first submitted to the queue.The SJC$_NO_DELETE_FILE item code is a Boolean item code. It specifies that a file should not be deleted after execution of the job. It is the default. You can specify this item code with the SJC$_ALTER_JOB function code; this makes it possible to cancel a file deletion request that was made when the job was first submitted to the queue.
(Valid for SJC$_ADD_FILE, SJC$_ENTER_FILE function codes)
SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE
Input value item code. When you specify the SJC$_ASSIGN_QUEUE function code, SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE specifies the name of the execution queue to which the logical queue is assigned. When you specify the SJC$_ABORT_JOB, SJC$_ALTER_JOB, or SJC$_MERGE_QUEUE function code, SJC$_DESTINATION_QUEUE specifies the name of the queue into which jobs are placed. By default, jobs remain in the original queue.The string can contain uppercase or lowercase characters (lowercase are converted to uppercase), numeric characters, dollar signs ($), and underscores (_). If the string is a logical name, SYS$SNDJBC translates it iteratively until the equivalence string is found or the number of translations allowed by the system has been performed. The maximum length of the final character string is 31 characters; spaces, tabs, and null characters are ignored.
