Avoiding inconsistent console definitions
You can change object-related data at runtime in the IBM Z consoles and activate such a change immediately. However, it might impact SA z/OS® if data values no longer match. The following data must be kept in sync between the console definition and the SA z/OS PDB processor policy that refers to it.
- Processor (CPC) SE console netid and name
- SNMPv3 specific settings, if applicable
- Partition (LPAR) name and (IML) mode
- SNMP API settings: Community names and console IP addresses
Note: Deleting an object on the console immediately affects SA z/OS if the deleted resource is defined in the PDB and a console
connection is in use. For example, if you remove a CPC from the defined CPC group of an HMC, while
ProcOps is receiving messages and events from LPARs of this CPC, important automation might be
broken. A coordinated administration of the console settings and the corresponding definitions in
the SA z/OS PDB is the key to avoid such situations.
