SIBCHECK

SIBCHECK analyzes important fields and relevant status flags in an SIB and related control blocks. The following control blocks are analyzed:

DLU cross-network extension (SIBX)
OLU cross-network extension (SIBX)
PLU resource extension (SIBRX)
SIB base
SIB initiation extension (SIBIX)
SLU resource extension (SIBRX)
SIB termination extension

SIBCHECK determines:

Alias resource names and network IDs
Configuration (cross-domain, cross-network, back-to-back, and so on)
Destination logical unit
GWNCP names
Initiating logical unit
Network addresses
Originating logical unit
Primary logical unit
RDTE address
Real resource names and network IDs
Resource type (APPL, LU, CDRSC, and so on)
Secondary logical unit

For each status bit in the SIB and related control blocks, the bit name, its value, and its meaning (from ) are listed.

Fields in the SIB that contain addresses are checked (such as SIBTV35P, the CV35 pointer, or SIBTNOTP, the pointer to NOTIFY RU). If these fields contain a nonzero address, the address and description of the field are also displayed.

Note: The SIBBTIME value is displayed in the format of coordinated universal time (formerly known as Greenwich Mean Time).

Operands

You must specify one address or one symbol.

Address: Enter 1–8 hexadecimal digits in the form X'x…' for the address of the SIB to be analyzed. If the address is fewer than 8 digits, it is padded on the left with zeros.
IPCS symbol: Enter 1–31 alphanumeric characters for an IPCS symbol name that has been previously equated with the address of the SIB to be analyzed. Do not include a period.
Under IPCS, the symbol X represents the address currently being displayed. If the current address is an SIB, this symbol may be used to refer to it.

Use the following syntax as an alternative to the panel interface.
