IBM SY44-5902-05 Service attributes Dspsrva or Chgsrva commands, Commonly used system values

Commonly used system values

QDATE: QDATE is the system date. It is composed of the following system

values: QYEAR, QMONTH, and QDAY. Available date formats are YMD, MDY, DMY (Y = year, M = month, D = day), or JUL (Julian format). Its value is set from the IPL Options display, and is updated when the system value QTIME reaches midnight (000000). A change that is made to this value might also change QYEAR, QMONTH, and QDAY.

QTIME: QTIME is the system value for the time of day. It is composed of the

following system values: QHOUR, QMINUTE, and QSECOND. You can set its value from the IPL Options display. QTIME format is hhmmss.

hh=24 hour time clock mm=minutes ss=seconds

Changes to this value take effect immediately, and they might affect the system values QHOUR, QMINUTE, and QSECOND.

QAUTOCFG: The automatic configuration indicator (QAUTOCFG) controls whether the system creates device descriptions automatically for locally attached devices. The system default, 1, is to perform automatic configuration. If you do not want the system to create device descriptions, change the system value to zero (0). You can use the WRKSYSVAL command, or enter the following command:

CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE(’0’)

QRMTSRVATR: The remote service attribute (QRMTSRVATR) system value controls incoming access to remote service support through the iSeries electronic customer support line.

Note: You can also set or reset this system value by using the change service attributes command (see “Service attributes (DSPSRVA or CHGSRVA) commands”).

Service attributes (DSPSRVA or CHGSRVA) commands

The system is shipped with service attributes that assist in system operation. You can display the service attributes by entering the Display Service Attributes (DSPSRVA) command or change the service attributes by entering the Change Service Attributes (CHGSRVA) command.

Commonly used service attributes

ANZPRBAUTO: The automated problem analysis function enables problem analysis routines to run automatically. Problem analysis routines are programs that attempt to isolate a problem. At the time of the failure, they run in a background batch job. This function also monitors for selected critical conditions. When it encounters one, it sends a *BREAK message to users (who are specified by the service attribute, CRITMSGUSR) to ensure that they recognize the condition.

To change the value of the automated analysis function, type:

CHGSRVA ANZPRBAUTO(*YES)

The system default (*Yes) is to run the automated problem analysis function.

If you do not want the system to perform the automated problem analysis function, change the value to *NO.
