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:

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. To check and reset the spooler outfence,enter: 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.
