Listing all the SMP/E data

If you encounter a problem with your system, the SMP/E data describing that system can be very important in diagnosing the problem. This information can be obtained by using the SMP/E dialogs during the debugging process. However, if the system is not running, the information is not available unless you have periodically listed the SMP/E data for the system.

Therefore, it is advisable to list all the data for each of your systems and save the hardcopy listing. The data can be listed by individual zone. The following is an example of a job for listing all the entries in zone TGT01.

//LIST     JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//LIST     EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD  *
SET      BDY(TGT01)         /* Set to desired zone.     */.
LIST                        /* List all entries         */
         XREF               /* with XREF option to show
                               additional relationships
                               between entries.         */.

Because the global zone contains data used to process each of the target zones and distribution zones, you may want to list that data more often. The following job lists all the data in the global zone, including the SYSMOD entries and the MCS entries:

//LIST     JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//LIST     EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD  *
SET      BDY(GLOBAL)        /* Set to global zone.      */.
LIST                        /* List all entries.        */.
/*

If you do not require a listing of the SYSMOD and MCS entries, you can use the LIST operands that enable you to list only specific entry types. For additional information, see Listing by specific entry type.

SMP/E also provides support to list all the entries for all the zones defined in the GLOBALZONE entry. This enables you to display all data for all systems with one SMP/E command. Here is an example of this option:

//LIST     JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//LIST     EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD  *
SET      BDY(GLOBAL)        /* Set to global zone.      */.
LIST                        /* List all entries         */
         ALLZONES           /* for all zones.           */.
/*

Note:

The ALLZONES operand should be used with caution; it may produce a large amount of output.

This function can also be qualified by other LIST operands to limit the entries listed from each zone. For example, the following job will list only the SYSMOD entries from all zones:

//LIST     JOB 'accounting info',MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//LIST     EXEC SMPPROC
//SMPCNTL  DD  *
SET      BDY(GLOBAL)        /* Set to global zone.      */.
LIST     SYSMOD             /* List the SYSMOD entries  */
         ALLZONES           /* for all zones.           */.
