Automatic Startup and Shutdown of Run Time

This section describes how you can automatically start up or shut down your batch system without the intervention of a person. Normally, you would use Runtime Application of the Environment Editor to do this. In some instances, however, you might need to start up or shut down your batch system when no employees are present in your facility.

The example in this section describes a facility in which the batch run-time system is configured to shut down (or start up) as a result of a power outage. When momentary or prolonged power outages occur, users and the system software must be able to react accordingly.
