9.2.1 Setting the service start sequence

To specify the start sequence by using the start sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT), perform the following procedure:

1. Non-JP1 services that you want to start before JP1 services

   Write the information in the [FrontOtherServicexxx] section of the startup sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT), where xxx represents a specific service.

2. JP1 services

   Write the information in the [Jp1xxx] section of the startup sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT), where xxx represents a character string assigned to the specific service.

3. Non-JP1 services that you want to start after JP1 services

   Write the information in the [OtherServicexxx] section of the startup sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT), where xxx represents a specific service.

A section is a control unit that makes explicit the method of processing for each service, and the way in which the service is processed under the startup control (that is, under JP1/Base Control Service).

You can also control the startup sequence for the services that have been defined in the startup sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT) as follows:

• To start each service after the previous service's startup has finished

• To start each service before the previous service's startup has finished

For details on the forwarding settings file, see Forwarding settings file in 16. Definition Files.

The following diagram shows the sequence in which services are activated at system startup.

From the following two messages, the system administrator can verify that service startup completed successfully:

• KAVA4014-I^#

• KAVA4036-I

  #: Make sure that this message is output for each of the services defined in the start sequence definition file (JP1SVPRM.DAT).
