Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users with virtual machines that have    *
    *                 both an IUCV *MSG or *MSGALL conection and a *
    *                 secondary user                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF                                    *
    ****************************************************************
    If a virtual machine with an IUCV connection to *MSG or *MSGALL
    has an active secondary user and has SET VMCONIO IUCV, virtual
    machine console output will be sent to the secondary user rather
    than to the IUCV connection. APAR VM65715 added the TERMINAL
    command PRECEDENCE option to allow this behavior to be changed,
    such that TERMINAL PRECEDENCE STARMSG would send console output
    to the guest via IUCV. However, this change only affected the
    behavior of CP output.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code was changed to honor the TERMINAL PRECEDENCE setting for
    guest console output, sending it via the IUCV connection if
    TERMINAL PRECEDENCE STARMSG is in effect.
    

Temporary fix
