The XWB LISTENER STARTER option can be used to start one or more Broker Listeners at one time. Additionally, this option can be used to automatically start all of the Listener processes you need when TaskMan starts up, such as after the system is rebooted or configuration is restarted.
The XWB LISTENER STARTER option works in combination with the new CONTROLLED BY LISTENER STARTER (#2) subfield of a Port (#1) subfield of a Listener (#7) multiple field in the RPC BROKER SITE PARAMETERS file (#8994.1). The CONTROLLED BY LISTENER STARTER field is a YES/NO set of codes type field. All of the Listener entries in this file that have CONTROLLED BY LISTENER STARTER set to YES will be started when the XWB LISTENER STARTER option is run.
In order to automatically start the Listener(s) when TaskMan is restarted (i.e., in addition to the entries in the RPC BROKER SITE PARAMETERS file [#8994.1]), enter the XWB LISTENER STARTER option in the OPTION SCHEDULING file (#19.2). Schedule this option with SPECIAL QUEUING set to STARTUP. You can do this by using the TaskMan option: Schedule/Unschedule Options:
Select Systems Manager Menu Option: TASKMAN Management
Select Taskman Management Option: SCHedule/Unschedule Options
Select OPTION to schedule or reschedule: XWB LISTENER STARTER <RET> Start RPC Broker Listeners
...OK? Yes// <RET> (Yes)

If you are an MSM 4.3.0 site or greater and using MSERVER instead of the Broker Listener, the XWB LISTENER STARTER option is not applicable to your site. Please refer to the "MSM for NT 4.3.0 MSERVER Replaces RPC Broker Listener Process" topic.
