Run QSQSRVR Prestart Jobs in the Showcase Subsystem

Problem:

How can you run the QSQSRVR prestart jobs in the same subsystem as Showcase?

Solution:

Starting with V6R1 and PTF SI33949, it is possible to have the QSQSRVR pre-start jobs that are used by Showcase to run in the same subsystem as ShowCase rather than the default subsystem of QSYSWRK.

Steps to change the subsystem for QSQSRVR pre-start jobs:

1. Add the  QIBM_SRVRMODE_SBS  environment variable using this command:

ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_SRVRMODE_SBS) VALUE('*SAME') LEVEL(*SYS)

2. Add a pre-start job entry for the QSQSRVR jobs in the ShowCase subsystem.
   1. End the ShowCase subsystem using command :ENDSBS
   2. ADDPJE SBSD(/) PGM(QSYS/QSQSRVR) STRJOBS(*YES) INLJOBS(5) THRESHOLD(2) ADLJOBS(2) MAXUSE(1)
   3. Start the subsystem using command: STRSBS
