Diagnosing problems with the builders

When working on a problem associated with a builder (for example, abend or loop), it may be helpful to ask yourself the following questions.

  • Why am I in a DFHBS* module? Am I doing CEDA GRPLIST install, CEDA GROUP install, autoinstall, logon, logoff, catalog, uncatalog, create or discard?
  • What is the termid or sysid of the terminal I am working with (the one I am installing, deleting, cataloging or uncataloging)?
  • Is this resource part of an resource definition atom?
  • How is this terminal defined?
  • Are there any messages associated with this terminal?
