Desktop Linux wiki for mainframers
McKown, John
The wiki has just started up and is at: http://linuxdesktop4i.midrange.com<http://linuxdesktop4i.midrange.com/>
To join the email forum, try http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/linuxdesktop4i
This is currently oriented mainly towards iSeries people. But I asked and other mainframers are welcome to join it. It is all very new (like 2 weeks old).

Nuttall, Peter , P.
I'm hoping this is a dumb question. My background is in system support,
but I am currently working in Application support.
We have a system which has been 'cloned' from another system. In the
cloned system I can see the IMS Started tasks running in the DA screen
in EJES. In the original system I cannot. I can see messages from the
IMS Regions going to the log, but cannot see the tasks in the DA screen.
The only difference I can see between the two EJES screens is that the
one where I cannot see the IMS regions mentions ZIIP utilization, the
other does not.
Is there something in EJES I can connect to in order to see the IMS
regions in the DA screen ? ... It could well be that I'm just being
thick !! ... :-)
Kind regards,
Peter

"additional selections" as well as "set mask character"
in the filter menu?
The latter fooled be recently since I'm used to use "*"
as the "generic character" whereas EJES defaults to " ".

Thanks for the reply, I've just checked all those and they're good ...
It's peculiar to me, because I can see the DB2 started tasks, but not
the IMS regions ...
Give my regards to anyone who remembers me at CS :-) ...
Kind regards,

release / ptf level.
If not then you probably use different security definitions.

Tried that ... Same PTF level ... It's probably something I'm doing
that's wrong ...

The presence of zIIP utilization information should not have an impact
on which address spaces are shown on the Activity display. Rather, it
simply means that one or more zIIPs are online to one or more of the
LPARs from which information is being gathered.
Issue the SRESET, XSEL OFF, and FIL OFF commands from the Activity
display just to be sure you haven't defined any kind of filters that are
preventing you from seeing the desired address spaces.
If that doesn't help, check the log to see if the IMS messages you see
are actually coming from the same system you're logged on to. If they're
coming from another member in a multi-system JESplex, you might not have
EJESCAS servers up and running on all images of the JESplex.
If none of that helps, please send a note to sup...@phoenixsoftware.com
and someone (maybe even I) will help you get to the bottom of your
mystery. And, don't feel bad if it turns out to be user error. Our tech
support group gladly answers "how to" questions as well as actual
product defect submissions...

Oops. How embarrassing. That should be SRESET, XSEL NOSAVE, and FIL OFF.

And thanks for clearing up the ZIIP utilization difference.
I tried those commands but still no joy ... I also looked in the log but
can't see another LPAR being mentioned in the messages ...
There are some entries in the 'System Requests' option under the
'Resources' tab (just two lines as an example) :
Cmd MsgID SysName JobName Message-Text
sssssss ssssssssss/ssssssss ssssssss
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
1948 SYB7 SDIMST7C DFS996I *IMS READY* IMSW
1947 SYB1 SDIMSP1X HWSC0000I *IMS CONNECT READY* HWS1
SYB1 is the lpar my tsoid is logged onto and SYB7 is the test LPAR ...
Could it be that these IMS regions have been somehow 'security' removed
from appearing in the display ?
Kind regards,
Peter

Yes. It's quite easy, and not uncommon, for an installation to "security
remove" certain objects from your view. This is usually done via
internal security specifications (e.g., VXOWNR), but may also be done
with SAF-based security rules (e.g., JESSPOOL).
When you look on the Activity display after SRESET, do you see hundreds
of address spaces including *MASTER*, PCAUTH, CONSOLE, GRS, VTAM, etc?
Or are you seeing only a subset of what's out there?
Nuttall, Peter , P.
That must be it then ... I'm only seeing a subset ... No *MASTER*,
PCAUTH, CONSOLE ... Etc.
Seems strange to me that they would do that for the IMS regions and not
the DB2 subsystem started tasks ? ... But thanks for the help.
Kind regards,
Peter
