Issue/Introduction

Are there situations where the profile files (bs_xxxxxxxx) are not created in the Unix/Linux environment, when executing a batch program/load module?

Environment

Gen 8.6 Runtime, Blockmode

Resolution

The application must be generated as 'restartable' in order to insure the profile files (bs_xxxxxxxx) are created.  This is done at the business system level containing the load module for the executable program that is being run.

To verify 'restartable' within the generated source code, there is an eye-catcher flag (the first one after the 1024) that determines if the application will use profiling or not.. If it is 'N' then no profiling is done and no file will be created. If it is Y then we will do profiling and create the file.
