SSMGA Status Command

An CA OPS/MVS modify command provides the return status for OPS/MVS, MSF, SSM, and SSMGA. This command determines the SSMGA system status within a sysplex when MSF communication has been lost. The z/OS sysplex ROUTE command can be used to issue this modify command on the target system within the same sysplex. Examination of the z/OS or the OPS/MVS messages returned can determine if the loss of communication warrants the recovery or movement of SSMGA resources. The SSMGA automatic WTOR reply Rexx program, SSMGARPL, uses this command.
