Using SSM Global Application › Verification and Diagnostic Commands

Verification and Diagnostic Commands

Several ISPF primary commands for detecting SSMGA configuration and runtime errors are available in the OPSVIEW 4.11.G SSMGA resource monitor. These commands detect the most common errors in SSMGA and in a few cases repair them automatically. When new SSMGA tables are added to the configuration, to insure a valid configuration all of these commands should be executed in order.

VERSYS command (Rexx program: SSMGAPH1):

• Validates the local system SSMGA required parameter settings
• Checks for MSF connections to an SSMGA global system
• Checks for required tables and their column structures
• Checks SSMGA resource column values for syntax, contents, and consistency
• Verifies that required rules are enabled
• Checks action table columns for the SSMGA required actions
• For some parameter and table errors the proper SSMGA value is set

VERGBL command (Rexx program: SSMGAPH2):

• Verifies that all SSM resource table rows on accessible systems in the SSMplex have corresponding resource rows in the local LST and in the GST
• Detects rows in the LST and GST that do not have corresponding SSM resource rows

VERMOV (Rexx program: SSMGAPH3:

• Diagnoses problems with movable resources
• Identifies any outstanding SSMGA WTORs that require a response
• Verifies that a specific movable resource has the same primary system name on all systems
• Verifies that movable resources exist on systems that are consistent with their primary and alternate system definitions
• Identifies movable resources that are not assigned to a system or are waiting for a particular system that is not active
• Evaluates the current and desired system in light of the action mode and move mode for consistency on all systems
