Re: z/OS and SIGNAL SHUTDOWN
as i know the signal is ignored. If you deactivate a running z/OS Lpar, the z/OS in this LPAR does just die. Well, boo. That seems to be an integrity issue -- if that signal appears and if the time remaining is non-zero, z/OS ought to at least TELL you that it happened, even if it doesn't let you do something about it. It shouldn't just die horribly, it should try to do something if it can. Guess it's time to pull out my requirement pen.
z/OS and SIGNAL SHUTDOWN
In another discussion, the question of what z/OS does with a LPAR shutdown signal (the hardware equivalent of SIGNAL SHUTDOWN) by default came up. Does anyone know? Does it generate a message or trigger a START command or does it just die horribly? Can it be trapped and used to initiate some useful action?
