I am currently running WHO V3.7 and tried to upgrade to V3.8. The
release notes state that SYSGEN parameter SCSSYSTEMID must be first
set to the node number. But it also states that:
...all the system queues (batch & print) MUST be empty when
the SCSSYSTEMID parameter is changed or the system will hang
during reboot.
and
...Remember to stop & delete all print & batch queues first!!!!!
If I change SCSSYSTEMID in MODPARAMS and run AUTOGEN, do I still
have to worry about queues? Do I stop the queues, stop the queue
manager, or delete the queues?
Signed,
Confused

There appears to be some confusion about the utility WHO which is
referenced by this conference. WHO is an extention of ZAP in that
it can display some of the data about processes on the system.
The problem is that there is another WHO out there. That is the
product to which you are referring. Luckily, I can help you out
anyways...
Queues, when initialized, are attached to a specific node (and
device if it is a print queue). This is done with the /ON=
switch in the initialize command. If a queue is started on
a system which has a blank SCSNODE & SCSSYSTEMID pamameters,
it is assumed to be on the local (noname) node.
When SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID are defined, queues must now be
started /ON=scsnode_value. All queues which existed prior to
this pair of parameters being defined will no longer function
and will need to be deleted. Then, new queues can be created.
HINT: Delete the queues before rebooting so that SYSTARTUP
can create new ones automatically.
SCSNODE should be your DECnet node name, where SCSSYSTEMID
should be your DECnet address [ area_number*7 + address ].
