Tasks of the start commands

The start commands have the following tasks:

• Ascertaining and assigning the system files

• Determining the operating mode

Ascertaining and assigning the system files

The start commands ascertain the system files required to start the program and assign the files by means of corresponding link names.

The names of the required system files are ascertained using IMON on the basis of the following algorithm:

• SESAM/SQL searches for the files of the selected version.

• CRTE searches for the most recent version.

If this is unsuccessful, the default names of the files are used (see next table).

If you have stored the CRTE and SESAM/SQL libraries with the default names specified in the table, you can also use the start commands without the need to install SESAM/SQL and CRTE with IMON.

The following list shows the files affected and their default names:

File	Link name	Standard name
CRTE library	BLSLIBxx	$.SYSLNK.CRTE for /390 servers; $.SKULNK.CRTE for x86 servers
SESAM module library	SESAMOML	$.SYSLNK.SESAM-SQL.<ver> for /390 servers; $.SKULNK.SESAM-SQL.<ver> for x86 servers
Procedure for CONNECT-SESAM- CONFIGURATION command		$.SYSSPR.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.RUN-CFG
Procedure for the start commands		$.SYSSPR.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.RUN-STA
FHS format library for SESMON	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.MON.E
FHS format library for the utility monitor (German/English)	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.D
	MAPLIB	$.SYSFHS.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.E
Help text file for the utility monitor (German/English)	SEEHELP	$.SYSMAN.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.D
	SEEHELP	$.SYSMAN.SESAM-SQL.<ver>.UTI.E

Table 2: Default names of the system files

The procedures for all commands are available in compiled form and can be run in a BS2000 environment.

Determining the operating mode

The programs are started in the interactive mode when the started via the start commands. If the user wants to run a program in the batch mode, then the user must call the start command in an ENTER procedure.
