:-P <raspberry sound effect> BCPii is fairly prevalent these days. It's enabled everywhere I've been.
Now that we're talking about BCPii, despite it being a _totally, completely and thoroughly_ inappropriate solution to the OP's original question, I gotta wonder how prevalent is really is...
Many customer dumps I look at don't seem to have HWIBCPII running. I thought for sure we were running it here, but when I checked just now it wasn't up. After I issued the S HWISTART command, it came up and shut right back down. Looking at the messages, it appears we forgot to update the Support Element on our z13s with the community name, etc. necessary to enable this function. (Oops. :-[ ) Oh yeah, and I need to set up a slew of HWI security profiles in RACF with our new CPC serial number. Ugh. Another time...
Also, keep in mind that BCPii is an LPAR-only facility. You get the following messages if you dare try to start it on a z/OS system running as a z/VM guest:
HWI016I THE BCPII COMMUNICATION RECOVERY ENVIRONMENT IS 183 NOW ESTABLISHED. HWI010I BCPII DOES NOT OPERATE ON A VM GUEST. BCPII INITIALIZATION 184 IS HALTED.
