TSSTRACK Utility › Altering CPU Identifiers Used in Tracking Display

Altering CPU Identifiers Used in Tracking Display

By default, the CPU identifier used in the TSSTRACK Information Display is obtained from the last character of the CPU's SMF identifier. The SIDCOL option lets you specify another column from which to obtain the CPU identifier. If this is not acceptable, your site may supply its own identifiers by zapping CSECT TSSTRAKT in the TSSTRAK0 module.

TSSTRAKT consists of 100 five‑byte constants in the form:

xxyyyyyyyy

xx

The tracking information display identifier for the CPU.

yyyyyyyy

The SMF identifier of the CPU.

Note: Both xx and yyyyyyyy are in hexadecimal format.

An optional APAR is available in the FIXLIB data set of the maintenance tape. This APAR contains ASIS VER and REP statements for altering how TSSTRACK reports the CPU SMF identifier.

Error messages and abend codes can be found in the Messages and Codes guide.
