IPCSDATA subcommand — request a report about IPCS activity

Use the IPCSDATA subcommand to generate reports about data maintained by IPCS in a dump:

IPCS sessions may have been active in various ASIDs dumped. If not and IPCSDATA is asked to process an ASID, a very brief report will be generated saying:
```
No IPCS session data was found in ASID(X'xxxx')
```
If you do not specify an address space selection parameter, CURRENT is the default.
Most dumps include the ECSA storage in which BLSJPRMI stores tables that identify the sysplex dump directory name and enumerate materials available for use during SNAP/ABDUMP formatting. Ask IPCSDATA to process COMMON storage to format this data.

Address space selection and data selection parameters limit the scope and extent of the information that appears in the report.

See SETDEF subcommand — set defaults.

                 [ ACTIVE | MAIN | STORAGE          ]
                 [ DSNAME(dsname) | DATASET(dsname) ]

                 [ PRINT | NOPRINT ]
                 [ TERMINAL | NOTERMINAL ]
                 [ TEST | NOTEST ]

Data selection parameters
COMMON or NOCOMMON

Requests or suppresses a report pertaining to common storage data maintained to support SNAP and ABDUMP formatting in the dumped system.

PRIVATE or NOPRIVATE

Requests or suppresses reports pertaining to IPCS sessions, if any, in the address spaces selected.

PARMLIB or NOPARMLIB

Requests or suppresses reports showing information obtained from parmlib members.

OPEN or NOOPEN

Requests or suppresses reports pertaining to open data sets.
Note: Dump directory performance statistics are only produced by IPCSDATA when it is run against ACTIVE storage. Statistics are acquired through the VSAM SHOWCB ACB programming interface, and no equivalent interface is supported for ACB images retrieved from a dump.

TASK or NOTASK

Requests or suppresses reports pertaining to tasks associated with IPCS session activity.
Address Space Selection Parameters
Request address spaces for which IPCSDATA private storage reports should be produced. See SELECT subcommand — generate address space storage map entries.
SETDEF-Defined Parameters
Overrides defaults established through the SETDEF subcommand or the Defaults option of the IPCS dialog. See SETDEF subcommand — set defaults.

Example 2: Sample IPCSDATA Private Storage Report. The following sample includes parmlib, open data set and task information.

Use of the NOPARMLIB option eliminates all lines of the report starting with the line beginning “SYSDDIR” and ending with the line beginning “SYMBOL PREFIX(Z)”.
Use of the NOOPEN option eliminates the paragraphs starting with lines beginning “Dump directory” and “BLSRZZ6 at”.
The lines in the “Dump directory” paragraph starting with the line beginning “NLOGR” only appear when IPCSDATA is run against ACTIVE storage. Most of these statistics are also maintained by VSAM in the catalog and can be formatted by LISTCAT. SHRPOOL, BFRFND and BUFRDS are accumulated within a single session and can only be obtained through IPCSDATA against ACTIVE storage.
Use of the NOTASK option eliminates the report lines starting with the line beginning “Master BLSUZZ2”.
