JobStart

Allow custom routines during background process (job) startup.

Synopsis

[Startup]    JobStart=n

n is either 1 (true) or 0 (false). The default value is 1.

Description

When JobStart is enabled (n = 1), InterSystems IRIS® data platform executes the JOB^%ZSTART routine entry when a background process starts. Background processes include any processes that are started via the JOB command, plus any background server processes including ODBC or any of the language bindings. When this parameter is not enabled, the routine is not executed.

Changing This Parameter

On the Startup page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Additional Settings > Startup), in the JobStart row, select Edit. Select JobStart to enable this setting.

Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change JobStart in the Config.StartupOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in Editing the Active CPF).
