The global coupling facility manager information section represents
data that is global to all CF processing done by the Coupling Facility
Manager. The following appears under this header:
- CF Manager Control Table Anchor
- Represents the address to the IWMCFCT (CFCT - Coupling Facility
Control Table) table.
- Task Control Flags or No Task Control Flags Set
- Header line indicating that Task Control Flags exist or do not
exist. If Task Control Flags is displayed then
any of the following information may be displayed:
- Local Mode
- Indicates local mode designation from the IXCQUERY LOCAL(xxxx)
invocation
- Connection Made
- Indicates that the Coupling Facility Manager has made a successful
connection to a structure at least once. Once set it remains on for
IPL duration.
- VCP Allowed To Abend
- There are some situations that require IWMC3VCP to take an abend.
An example would be IWMC3VCP finding a bad CFRB. (You should never
encounter a bad CFRB unless there is an internal problem.)
When
this indicator is set module IWMC3VCP is allowed to abend. Prior to
IWMC3VCP taking the abend the indicator is reset and IWMC3VCP does
not take those abends again. Doing this prevents IWMC3VCP from going
into a recursive abend condition.
- CST Allowed To Abend
- There are some situations that require IWMC3CST to take an abend.
An example would be issuing IXLCONN and getting a bad parameter return
code. (You should never encounter a bad parameter return code unless
there is an internal problem.)
When this indicator is set module
IWMC3CST is allowed to abend. Prior to IWMC3CST taking the abend the
indicator is reset and IWMC3CST does not take those abends again.
- DST Allowed To Abend
- There are some situations that require IWMC3DST to take an abend.
An example would be issuing IXLDISC and getting a bad parameter return
code. (You should never encounter a bad parameter return code unless
there is an internal problem.)
When this indicator is set module
IWMC3DST is allowed to abend. Prior to IWMC3DST taking the abend the
indicator is reset and IWMC3DST does not take those abends again.
- Update Processor Flags or No Update Processor Flags Set
- Header line indicating that Update Processor Flags exist or
do not exist. If Update Processor Flags is
displayed then any of the following information may be displayed:
- Update Processor Timer Set
- When set, indicates that a timer has been created to allow the
update processor (IWMC3UDP) to get control again.
