- I have the zSeries API documentation and the BCPii specific zOS docs but I am not able to find items related to returned values, for example HWIQUERY of HWI_OPERSTAT. I can probe and knowing the state of what I'm seeing can infer what I am getting but I'd like to find wherever these flags are defined to make sure I'm writing my app correctly. For example, querying a deactivated lpar I get x'0008', an activated lpar that's varied from the sysplex I see x'0002' and a running CF gives me x'0001'. That's great but I am concerned about what I don't know here. Where can I find this stuff?
- Event notifications... I'd like to automate the responses when I start my sysplex on the DR machines. Activating and IPLing is pretty easy. Receiving events, I find not so easy. I do not have a C compiler at my disposal, so at least that part is easier... but the scheme I am not sure how to approach. I believe I'll call the event notification exit by virtue of the HWIEVENT registration, and I'm guessing that I let the exit do whatever processing I want. Two thoughts come to mind there. I can wait for the activation to complete by looping a bunch of queries until I get my x'0001' (or hit what loop limit I set) or I can register for the state change. How to return to my HWIEVENT registering program the state change so it can proceed to do the rest of its business? This is where my program management skills are showing their weakness. I'm guessing something like feeding Reg15 a return code would work but that has its limitations when I start dealing with things not so straightforward. I'd really like to register for operating system messages and process the various WTORs as they appear (IEA347A, IXC this and that for CFs, couple datasets, etc., subduing automation and so on... remember I don't have ProcOps on the first system in). When I call the exit, is it setting up connections of its own and processing the ENF info itself? The examples in the manuals are pretty amusing, responding with WTOs to the events, but that'd be a bit useless in this case. Probably the best answer I'm looking for is which docs I should be looking at so I can figure this stuff out... mostly I'm looking to shorten the research path as much as I can. Thanks...
