A quick start occurs if you request a warm start and JES2 determines that job queue and job output table updating is not necessary. This can occur in these cases:

• The previous JES2 was stopped by a $P JES2 command and this is not the first member (or only member) in the MAS configuration to start. Because all work is quiesced, there is no need to update the job queue or job output table before restarting.
• An all-member warm start has been performed (which processes all jobs) and this member is already defined to the MAS configuration. There is no need to update the job queues or job output table.
• This member abnormally terminated and a $E MEMBER(member) command was issued from another member in the MAS configuration. This gives the issuing member the ability to:
  • Process any jobs that had a specific affinity for the member being reset.
  • Process any output for the reset member.
  • Restart any jobs that were interrupted on the reset member.
  • Dynamically add a new member to a multi-access spool configuration. A new member is defined as a member that has a NAME (on the MEMBER statement) that has not been previously defined to the MAS.
