Bob, you hit a fairly frequently occuring "problem". A number of the HMC
panels are, in my view, poorly designed or labeled. There are numerous
times when you need to take (click on) the non-intutative option. Some of
the more intiative options appear to exit, but actually leave the task
running. We tend to have an adversion to 'cancel'ing a function; we'd
rather 'stop' or 'exit' or such but sometimes this leaves the task running
in the "background". If you run into this situation, with a task still
running "somewhere" I tend to start miminizing (not closing) HMC windows
until I can see the window for the task still running, then cancel that
task/window. There are better ways (more proper) to find these hidden
tasks (I think there is a icon in the upper left area that will show all
running tasks) but this is the simple and straightforward way that I can
remember...

Subject: Re: IOCP, Dynamic I/O and Tokens
I got an hour this morning so I came in at 5:00 to perform the POR on our
z9. The original IOCP change was to change an OSA port from Non-QDIO to
QDIO but I also added "MAXDEV=(CSS(0),500,0)" to the RESOURCE.
After the POR, I tried to do an ACTIVATE and received a message about
insufficient Central Storage. It said only 6912K was available and to
Customize the Activation Profile, reduce Central Storage, and try again.
I did this and tried again but for some reason the "Custom Activation
Profile" task was still active. I'm positive I did the SAVE, was I
supposed to do something else after that?
I finally had to go into "Users & Tasks" and canceled the task. I wa
s
able to do the Activate then, and then the LOAD. This entire process is
NOT very clear to me. The business partner set it all up and now we're
supposed to be able to figure it all out. If anyone could enlighten me o
n
the process to perform a POR and to change Central Storage I would really
appreciate it. Thanks!
