Startup time includes all the time needed to get the conductor and section leader processes started and may - I'm not 100% sure on this - include time for the job to reach a status of Running on all nodes.

Production run time is that period between when the first operator begins and the final operator finishes. It should include time required to execute any before-job and after-job subroutines but, again, I'm not 100% certain.

I note your job style is server, yet you've posted on the parallel jobs forum. My reply is for parallel jobs, but can be generalized to server jobs (remove references to "all nodes"). I suspect (from the reference to "main_program") that yours is a parallel job.

Hi,

Well tuned system would have Startup time less than 30 sec.
The job having the Startup time greater thatn 30 sec need to looked up.
It shows the sever is overwhelmed with load. Probably the Number of jobs in the sequencers/Batch at a time(if called) can be reduced.

No it is available by default. If you require, you can turn on APT_STARTUP_STATUS.
But it is just additional startup message about section leader and player etc.
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'
