Looking at this thread it occurred to me that even though OPENQ was mentioned, no one mentioned OPENQ@, to open all queues. Anyway I had this problem before with a system that didn't have a serial line printer, the line printer was networked via NPCONFIG, and a Jetdirect box. So when the system starts up, and the network is not yet started, jobs stay in wait. Additionally, if the network spooled printers are configured to be initially spooled at start up you are in a catch-22, with network errors on the console because the spooler process can't talk to the printers.
So jobs are in a wait state: Here's what I did:
Change network spooled printers, to NOT be initially spooled, then when the network is up I xeq the following command file: Which looks into sysgen to find and start all networked printers, printers that have the "HPTCPJD" ID in sysgen, then OPENQ@

You may not have done a STARTSPOOL LP...that will cause jobs to wait
until the $STDLIST device is available.

Have you tried issuing the command...STREAMS 10 ?
This will enable streaming on logical device 10.
Try it, you'll like it.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Job streams in WAIT state
Hello all:
This is a real quick question concerning jobs that are in the WAIT state
after installing MPE/iX 6.0 from a CSLT for a Disaster Recovery
exercise. After system is installed, I have tried to stream a job that
builds the volumes/volume sets but it just goes into a WAIT state. In
fact, any job I try streaming has the same problem. I'm logged on as
MANAGER.SYS and job limit is set to 13 in jobstream. I tried HIPRI but
nothing works. I wind up having to manually issue the commands to do
the builds and after a reboot, the scheduler has no problem for
streaming thereafter. Is there a command that I need to issue?
Please help because I'm doing another DR exercise soon for a client.
Thanks.
