Overview

Option 5 - SUBSYSTEM of the BSA Service Manager menu is the central access point for subsystem-related functions.

Viewing available subsystems

1. In the "Service Manager Selection Menu", select option 5. The "Beta Subsystem Selection" panel is called:

   PEB4SIB -----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Command ===> _________________________________________________________________
   
   Beta Subsystem Selection Subsys-ID - B93P
   Sysname - BETA
   
   Selection via STC Name/Jobname ( SSID must be * )
   
   STC Name ===> *.......
   
   
   Selection via Subsystem ID ( STC Name must be * )
   
   SSID ===> *...
   Active ===> ___ (Y)es, (N)o or blank
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Enter one of the above parameters or press ENTER directly to display the over-
   view panel. Press END to return to the previous menu.
   

2. Leave asterisks in the STC Name and SSID fields to view a table of all available subsystems, both active and inactive:

Result

The request to display subsystems is always sent to the current target subsystem of the BSA Service Manager. The subsystem table displays the following subsystems:

• All local subsystems defined on the MVS system where the Service Manager's target subsystem is running
• All remote subsystems connected via OCF/XCF

  To access a remote subsystem not currently displayed in the subsystem table because it is not connected via OCF/XCF, make an appropriate subsystem the current target subsystem first (line command S) and then display the subsystem table again.

Columns in STC information overview

Column	Description
S	Input field for a line command
SSID	Indicates the subsystem ID
A	Indicates whether the subsystem is active (Y) or not (N)
Jobname	Displays the name of the STC or job
System	Displays the MVS system name
PI	Displays the product ID, for example 88 or 93
Location	Indicates the system's physical location of installation
Name	Displays the Beta Subsystem name, which is defined in the product database
L	Indicates whether the subsystem is local (Y) or not (N)
O	Indicates whether an OCF connection is used for the communication between this subsystem and the TSO user's system:
X	Indicates whether there is an active XCF connection
D	Indicates how the database is connected:

Line commands

S	Selects this subsystem as the Service Manager's target subsystem.
OC	Calls OCF/LU6.2 Control (same as Service Manager option 4.2.1)
OX	Displays information on OCF and XCF connections (similar to Service Manager option 4.2.1, Action VIEW)
TC	Calls TCP/IP Applications Control (same as Service Manager option 4.2.2)
XM	Displays XCF member information
XT	Displays information on the XCF complex
RB	Displays the contents of the Remote System Blocks (RSB) (if entered in front of a local system with OCF connections).
SE	Displays information on security exits and the Beta SVC.
SI	Displays information from the subsystem control area (SSCA) of the MVS subsystem interface.
