Channel path alert conditions

The operating system communicates with the operator when two other indicators are set in a CRW: channel path temporary and configuration alert temporary. In either case, the operating system performs no recovery processing.

• Channel path temporary: The operating system issues message IOS162A to inform the operator that the channel subsystem could not identify the device requesting service.
• Configuration alert temporary: The operating system issues message IOS163A to inform the operator that the channel subsystem could not associate a valid subchannel with the device requesting service.
