Fields on the Multi-System Facility System Status Panel

The following fields appear on the Multi-System Facility System Status Panel:

Applid Name

Indicates the application ID of the remote system.

Logmode Name

When the value of the Network Transport field is APPC, this field indicates the name of the VTAM LOGMODE table entry used to establish the APPC session.

Network Transport

Indicates the communications protocol used for communication between systems. Valid protocols are APPC and CCI (CAICCI), and AP.

Product Name

OPS/MSF (the default), CONSERVE, or CA Automation Point

Session Status

The status of the remote system. Values are:

ACTIVE - The session is active and operational.

FAILED - The session either failed to activate or failed after it was activated, and WAIT mode was specified.

INACTIVE - Either the session was never established, or an MSF DEACTIVATE command processed successfully.

RETRYING - The session either failed to activate or failed after it was activated, and RETRY mode was specified.

WAITING - The remote system has not established a session yet, because WAIT mode was specified.

Release Code

The release of the copy of CA OPS/MVS that is running on the remote system.

Security status

The security status of the remote system. If the value is SECURE, any command received from the remote system is processed by the local system. A value of NOSECURE indicates that the remote system is not secure (that is, it is a test system). The value of NOSECURE only processes display commands received from the remote system. Commands that could harm the production system are ignored (such as an ENABLE command).

Network Delay

Network delay time between the local MSF system and the remote system

Retry Time

The amount of time, in seconds, MSF waits between retry attempts

Maximum Retry

Maximum number of times MSF is allowed to retry activating the remote session if it fails

Current Retries

Number of times MSF has attempted to retry activating the remote system

VTAM Return Code

VTAM return code if activation failed

VTAM Feedback2

VTAM feedback code if activation failed

Alias Name n

These fields indicate from one to eight alias names for the system.

Sysplex Name

The name of the sysplex in which the remote system is a member.

SYSNAME

The SYSNAME as defined in the active IEASYSxx member of the Logical Parmlib Concatenation on the remote system.

SMF ID

The SMF identifier as defined on the SID keyword in the SMFPRMxx member of the Logical Parmlib Concatenation on the remote system.

OPS/MVS Subsystem

The CA OPS/MVS subsystem identifier of the remote CA OPS/MVS system.

SSMplex name

The name of the SSM Global Application Manager (SSMGA) SSMplex to which the remote CA OPS/MVS system belongs, or the value NONE.

Global Priority

The SSMGA global system priority of the remote CA OPS/MVS system.

Master

Whether the remote CA OPS/MVS system is an SSMGA master system (Y or N).

Note: The Session Status value displays in reverse video when the status is anything other than ACTIVE.
