Subsystem Cretaion

Subsystem
AS400 system contains several subsystems, each working independently and performing
some specific task.
The job is assigned to a subsystem according to the type of job e.g. one subsystem may
handle all interactive job; other may handle all batch job, some other may handle
communication jobs etc.
Subsystem may also handle different types of job.
Each subsystem has its own runtime attribute that is used by the job to get itself executed
under that environment.
Simple IBM supplied Subsystem configuration:

QBASE Supports Interactive, Batch and communication jobs.
QSPL Spool subsystem that supports reader/writer jobs.
QCTL Controlling Subsystem that starts up the system console.
QINTER Supports Interactive jobs.
QBATCH Supports Batch jobs.
QCMN Supports all communication jobs.
QSPL Supports reader and writer jobs.

System pool: A logical division of main memory for allocation of jobs.

Pool size: Amount of allocated memory to a job.
IBM supplied pools:
*Machine: No user jobs in this pool and is related to OS/400.
*Interact: Pool made for interactive jobs.
*Spool: Pool made for printer writers.
*Base: Contains whatever storage is left. Usually used for Batch and
miscellaneous work.

Procedure to create subsystem

We can create our own subsystem to run our interactive/batch jobs.
We can start or end the subsystem whenever we need without disrupting our other system
jobs that may be running in QINTER/QBATCH.
To create our simple batch subsystem, we need below elements:
Subsystem description: It describes the working environment of the subsystem e.g.

maximum no. of jobs in the subsystem at a time, storage capability of the subsystem,
pool identifier etc.
Job queue: From which the jobs will be feed to run in the subsystem.
Class object: It describes the runtime attributes of jobs entering this subsystem.
Routing entries: It tells the subsystem how to process incoming requests.
Steps of creating the subsystem
Create Subsystem description (CRTSBSD)

First of all we create subsystem description as below:
CRTSBSD SBSD (AMINEM/MYSBSD) POOLS ((2 *BASE)) MAXJOBS(2) TEXT('My subsystem description')
Here, the subsystem job will run in pool 2 and will use *BASE for main memory storage. There
can maximum of 2 jobs inside the subsystem at a time.
Create Job queue (CRTJOBQ)
Then we create a job queue as below:

CRTJOBQ JOBQ (AMINEM/MYJOBQ) TEXT('My job queue')
Add Job Queue Entry (ADDJOBQE)
Once the job queue is created, then we attach the (ADDJOBQE) command, as follows:
ADDJOBQE SBSD (AMINEM/MYSBSD) JOBQ (AMINEM/MYJOBQ) MAXACT (1)
MAXACT denotes the number of the jobs that can be process at the same
time.
Create Class (CRTCLS)
Class defines the run time attribute e.g. Run priority, Time slice, Default wait time, Maximum
temporary storage etc.
CRTCLS CLS(AMINEM/MYCLS) RUNPTY(40)
Add Routing Entry (ADDRTGE)

ADDRTGE SBSD(AMINEM/MYSBSD) SEQNBR(9999) CMPVAL(*ANY) PGM(SYS/QCMD) CLS(AMINEM/MYCLS)
Start Subsystem (STRSBS)

STRSBS SBSD(AMINEM/MYSBSD)
Once the subsystem is started it can be used to submit the job.
