The 3995 optical library microcode provides a 3995 Service Information
Message (SIM) to the host when a component within the 3995 optical
library needs service.
If the appropriate bit is on in the SIM, OAM issues an action message
(CBR3309E) to the MVS console. Additionally, if the appropriate bit
is on in the SIM, OAM logs the SIM message as a type x‘A3’
Asynchronous Notification Record (ANR) in SYS1.LOGREC.
The following restrictions apply:
- The 3995 optical library dataservers must be defined in the IODF
as 3995 devices (not CTC or 3088 devices) in order for the Environmental
Recording Editing and Printing program (EREP) to produce formatted
reports for any ANRs generated for those libraries.
- AMRF must be active in order to recall CBR3309E messages that
have rolled off the screen. To display the message identification
numbers and text of all immediate action and eventual action messages,
as well as OAM issued messages awaiting replies, use the following
command:
DISPLAY R,L,KEY=OAM
- OAM must be active when SIM attentions from the 3995 are sent
to the host or they are lost.
- The optical libraries indicated in the SIM attention messages
must be known to OAM, and they must be part of the active SMS configuration
or they are lost.
