INGCF PATH

Purpose

The INGCF PATH function displays the sender paths, that is, the paths from the connected systems to the specified coupling facility.

Restrictions

The last sender path of each system can only be set to OFFLINE when no more structures are allocated.

The following command codes are available:
F
Sets the sender path OFFLINE.
N
Sets the sender path ONLINE.

The fields on the command dialog panel display the following information:

  • If you have issued INGCF with the PATH parameter, the Coupling Facility field is an input field. To display the path list of another coupling facility specify the name of the coupling facility in this field and press Enter.
  • The Allocated Structures field shows the number of allocated structures.
  • The Permission field shows your authorization level.
  • The System field contains the names of the systems that are connected to the target coupling facility.
  • The CHPID field shows the IDs of the sender channel paths.
  • The Physical field shows the status of the sender channel paths.
  • The Logical field shows the logical status of the paths to that coupling facility.
  • The Type field shows the type of the sender channel paths.
