I think this is the answer I need! I'll look for those Maintenance Book tomorrow.
By the way, please don't think I use the list as a Google's substitution. I think in the list as a "last try before giving up". I went into Google for hours, but couldn't find why the query was failing. Before that, I went int= o this list's archives, because you find more information and more accurate than in Google. But, when I see there is no way by searching it's time for asking. Excuse me if I'm asking too much. Thank you very much! 2007/3/28, Chris Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Victor Since I got myself involved, I may as well try to see it out. What you appear to need - as is mentioned in the redbook to which George referred: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg242070.html - are the *maintenance* manuals. In principle, these manuals are used only by the folk responsible for *maintaining* your hardware but - the last time I was in a machine room - you should be able to find the manual in those wire tracks used as a bookcase for maintenance manuals. Thus if you have an IBM 9037 Sysplex Timer, I would expect one of the following manuals to be present in those wire racks. If they are not, I believe you should be entitled to ask IBM that they are available there. - Sysplex Timer 9037 Maintenance, SY27-2605 (9037-001) - Maintenance Information for the 9037 Model 2 Sysplex Timer, SY27-2641 The section of the redbook which contained these references starts with the following: <quote> Appendix B. 9037 Log - Reason Codes All messages appearing in the event log or displayed at the 9037 console are accompanied by a number referred to as the reason code (RC). The reason codes are primarily used by the IBM Service Representative to determine corrective actions to be taken. </quote> Appendix B then goes on to list all the reason codes with a little description for each. This may be the same information that you will find in those Y manuals and may be all you need. Incidentally, I found those Y manuals very helpful when I used to work with machines like the 3745 so there's actually something behind the word "primarily" as used in that redbook text. Chris Mason
