Verify Service Agent (VFYSRVAGT)

The Verify Service Agent (VFYSRVAGT) command allows a user to verify a Service Agent operation. The operation to be verified is specified by the Type (TYPE) parameter.

Parameters

Type (TYPE)

Specifies the aspect of Service Agent to be verified.

This is a required parameter.

*SRVCNN

The connection between the system or logical partition and IBM is to be verified. This connection may be used for service information collection and transmission whether or not Service Agent is activated for problem reporting.

*TSTPRB

Service Agent is to create a problem log entry with either a valid error log identifier or a null (00000000) Error Log ID. The problem will then be reported using the normal Service Agent problem reporting process. This allows a test of the Service Agent problem reporting function. QSRV and QSYSOPR messages may be checked after a few minutes for Service Agent messages and the Problem Management Record (PMR).

Error log identifier (ERRLOGID)

Specifies the error log identifier for the Product Activity Log entry that is to be used to create a problem log entry for which a test problem will be sent.

Note: This parameter is valid only when TYPE(*TSTPRB) is specified.

00000000

Specifies that no product activity log entry will be used. The problem log entry and test problem will have no product activity log identifier.

hexadecimal-value

Specify a valid eight character identifier from the product activity log. Product activity log identifiers may be found using the Work with Service Agent (WRKSRVAGT) command with TYPE(*EVENT) specified, or by using the Start Service Tools (STRSST) command.

Examples

VFYSRVAGT   TYPE(*TSTPRB)  ERRLOGID(00000000)

This command will verify the operation of Service Agent by sending a test problem with no error log identifier.
