Behaviour after restart

2011-07-18 Thread Buettner, Wolfgang
After a system restart OPERATOR's console hangs on its very first screen in HOLDING status (I guess due to the fact that some system messages are highlighted) and is waiting until the screen is cleared manually. Though there is not any other prompt to be answered and the system itself continues to

Wolfgang, Can you copy/paste the held screen so that we have a better idea of which messages might be causing the problem? Could you change the CP directory entry's COMMAND TERM HOLD OFF to be COMMAND TERM HOLD OFF MORE 0 0? Then, in the OPERATOR's PROFILE EXEC change it to CP TERM MORE n n

Mike, I have changed the COMMAND TERM statement as suggested ... unfortunately nothing has changed. Here is that screen in question: 17:19:33 z/VM SYSTEM RESTART FROM SHUTDOWN REIPL 17:19:33 z/VM V6 R1.0 SERVICE LEVEL 1003 (64-BIT)

Hi, It looks like itÂ’s 2nd level system. So, your first level system need to be change to fill in 2nd level. Plz. Correct me if I am wrong. Warm Regards, Tom 1-646-452-3359 From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Buettner, Wolfgang Sent:

Wolfgang, That certainly helps! Counting the number of lines, I see that your OPERATOR goes into HOLDING at the 30th displayed line: 17:19:36 HCPIOP952I 0064M system storage Meanwhile, our OPERATOR continues on without HOLDING where the 36th message at logon (last night) was: 20:27:39

Have you tried placing the TERM HOLD OFF in a COMMAND record in the CP directory entry for OPERATOR? That way it is in effect when OPERATOR starts, not having to wait for the PROFILE EXEC to run.

I saw the same, or a similar problem a couple of years ago. It had something to do with the terminal emulator I was using. I had the problem with Vista emulator from Tom Brennan Software. Switching to a different emulator for the 2nd level system cured it and after installing an RSU or

When I reread Step 2 Yep, it does say a list of tags, it's not meant to be a sample entry. Now, I'm getting somewhere... I copied the entries from the IBM DTCPARMS. Now, things are being tried, at least. 15:14:43 AUTO LOGON *** REXECD USERS = 62BY TCPMAINT

Ficon CTC's between LPAR's in same Box

Is there a way I can configure CTC's between LPAR's in same physical box without going out and buying hardware? I saw somewhere that one could use share CHPID's with other devices using TYPE=FC. Does this only work if going out to Ficon switch ? I do have a Ficon express 8 card with 1 unused

OK, that makes sense to what I'm seeing now. I never got into using OBEYFILE. Back in the early '90s when VM first got IP, everytime I used OBEYFILE, I wiped out things that I didn't intend to. Never went back to it again. I never caught on to which groups of statements were considered packets

At least on z/OS (not sure under z/VM) you can use switch attached FC channels for CTC's as well as other purposes (so unlike Escon you don't have to dedicate a CNC and CTC port) as FC channels use the same definition at each end. Jerry Whitteridge Design Engineer Safeway Inc. 925 951 4184 If
