IIRC, the NIP messages are saved in memory until JES2 comes up and they can be written to SYSLOG. If you don't get to that point then you should take a stand alone dump, and you should be able to read them there.
>>> "McKown, John" <john.mck...@healthmarkets.com> 1/5/2010 11:51 AM >>> I made some changes to by UNIX BPXPRMnn members to test going to a sysplex root. I IPL'ed the system. There were problems. But the message from z/OS is useless. It tells me to refer to the HARDCOPY LOG. Like somebody has a 3287 printer any more? Or any printers? (we don't! All print is outsourced.) Luckily, being a paranoid, I did not really change my members, I make new members and referred to them via a new LOADxx member refering to a new IEASYMxx member which referred to a new IEASYSxx member which listed the new BPXPRMxx members. I could continue the IPL by replying the old OMVS= parameter. I am wondering if others think it would be a good idea for IBM to make some sort of way to see the error messages on the NIPCONS?
