Starting the System Without Recovery
The START NORECOVERY method of starting the system does not retain
scheduled jobs. Use the START NORECOVERY command:
* When the system configuration has changed.
* If a START RECOVERY failed.

activate control mode by pressing the CTRL and B keys.
2. Use the two-character reset commands to reset the system. Enter:

information:
________________________________________________________________________

7. If the date and time are correct, you can either press Y Return or
not take any action. After waiting 10 seconds for input, the
system assumes that the date and time are correct and continues
booting.

booting.
To prepare the system for normal activity
If your operator session was not automatically started, you have to log
on to the console.
* At the system prompt (MPE XL), enter:
HELLO OPERATOR.SYS;HIPRI Return
Adding HIPRI allows you to start a session regardless of the value
of the session limits or jobfence. If you do not see one of the
following prompts or your application prompt, you need to reset
and start the computer:
MPE XL:
:
ENTER GROUP PASSWORD:
ENTER ACCOUNT PASSWORD:
ENTER USER PASSWORD:
The computer prompts you for any passwords, then displays logon
information. You will see the colon prompt on the left side of
the screen.
* Verify your logon by entering:
SHOWME Return
The screen displays:

To conclude the startup, you must check, and possibly reset, the
following four things:
* The job and session limits.
* The jobfence.
* The outfence.
* The streams device.
To check and reset the job and session limit
1. To check and reset the job and session limits, enter:
SHOWJOB STATUS
2. If you know what the values should be, set them now, using the
LIMIT command. Enter:
LIMIT nn,yy
The nn and yy are the job and session limits respectively.
If you are not sure what the limits should be, check with your
system manager. If your system manager is not available, use the
following formula as a guideline:
SLIMIT = the number of terminals connected to your computer.
JLIMIT = approximately one-fifth of the session limit.
3. To check and reset the spooler outfence,enter:
SHOWOUT STATUS
4. If your system-wide outfence is equal to a number other than 1 or
14, then it has been set for you (by the SYSSTART.PUB.SYS file)
during the startup procedure. If it is equal to 1 or 14, check
with your system manager for the correct outfence. Enter:
OUTFENCE 6
5. To reset an individual outfence, enter:
OUTFENCE 6;DEV=nn
To set the streams device
To allow users to stream jobs, enter:
STREAMS 10
