Will you pay (Euros only) for this knowledge? I am afraid nothing is free nowadays.
=> Thanks for all of the feedback thus far, both on and off the list, it has => been useful. => => So far, there seems to be general agreement that the frequency of problems => is low (at least in production LPARs), that some way of displaying what => the Wait State Code (WSC) means would be useful and that recovery from => these sort of problems is accomplished by using another running z/OS => system. => => To help focus the feedback somewhat I would be interested to know: => - What are the typical steps taken to identify/recover from a WSC ? For => example, => Step 1: Find the meaning of the WSC => Step 2: SADUMP => Step 3: Correct the source of the problem => Step 4: Re-IPL => Step 5: Open a PMR => etc., etc. => Steps 1 seems fairly certain, beyond that the remaining steps (both => content and sequence) seem to be much less so. => - Are the existing messages useful/sufficient for identifying the => underlying cause and how to correct the WSC ? => - Are there circumstances (e.g. console setup, etc.) that prevent the => existing messages from being seen ? => - Are additional/better/different messages needed to identify and/or => correct the cause of the WSC ? => - Is there any need to diagnose and/or correct problems without resorting => to another running z/OS system ? => - To what extent, if any, is it desirable to avoid the WSC by providing => some means of error recovery ? => => Thanks. => => John McDowell - IBM => => => => => ---------------------------------------------------------------------- => For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, => send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN => John Cassidy (Dipl.-Ingr.)
