I second these options. Not having to go find the wait states book, but having a help link on the HMC would be nice. We also keep a copy of ZZSA around, but have not had to use it (Murphy's Law maybe?). I also agree about the real console problem. If there was a way to have every message generated from the start of the IPL to the failure go to the operating systems messages on the HMC, or some other place it would be great.
And I do appreciate you asking about this. Having worked closely with IBM development years ago during the IMS Datasharing days, I understand that even IBM does not have one person who understands the entire process soup to nuts. Everyone complains that IBM never listens, but when IBM asks, you get beaten up for not already knowing the answer. Some people can never be pleased. My $.02.
