Information
about forms, characteristics, and queues is stored in the queue
database. For this reason, creating forms, queues, and characteristics
each time the node or OpenVMS Cluster system reboots is unnecessary.
However, you must start nonautostart execution queues and enable
autostart each time a node reboots. To do so, create a command procedure.
If your configuration is simple, you can add the commands
to the site-specific startup command procedure SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
If your configuration requires a large number of commands, create
a separate command procedure and execute it from SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
Generic queues are not automatically stopped when a node shuts
down. Therefore, including commands to start generic queues in your
startup command procedure is unnecessary.
