The combination of the startup method and the startup mode is called the startup mode.

The startup mode is determined by the previous termination mode and the value of the mode_conf operand in the system environment definition. In OpenTP1 for Windows, you can specify only AUTO in the mode_conf operand in the system environment definition (MANUAL1 and MANUAL2 are not supported). Therefore, the conditions for determining the startup mode in OpenTP1 for Windows differ from those in OpenTP1 for UNIX.

The following table shows the startup modes in OpenTP1 for Windows.

Table 6-2 Startup modes in OpenTP1 for Windows

Conditions for determining startup mode		Startup mode
Previous termination mode	mode_conf value	Startup method	Startup mode
Normal termination	AUTO	Manual#1	Normal start
Forced normal termination	AUTO	Manual#1	Normal start
Planned termination A	AUTO	Manual#1	Restart#2
Planned termination B	AUTO	Manual#1	Restart#2
Forced termination	AUTO	Manual#1	Restart#2
Abnormal termination	AUTO	Automatic	Restart

#1

OpenTP1 starts automatically when Windows starts.

#2

You can also start OpenTP1 in the forced normal startup mode from the Windows Services dialog box, a command, or the GUI.

Because OpenTP1 for Windows does not support the dcstart command, the dcstart -n command cannot be used to start OpenTP1 in the forced normal startup mode.
