  DIAGNOSTIC CHECKLIST:
    - SEE NPM DIAGNOSIS, LY20-0381,
      UNDER 'GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM CHECKLIST'
    - ADDITIONAL ITEMS:
      > IS THE SYS1.GDDMLOAD DATASET EITHER
        A.  A PART OF THE MVS LINKLIST
                   OR
        B.  CONCATENATED TO THE STEPLIB IN THE TSO
            STARTUP PROCEDURE?
     >  'GARBLED' SCREENS EXPERIENCED?  THEN
        ADD "ADMMDFT IOSYNCH=YES" TO THE GDDM ADMDEFS DATASET.
     >  WAS THE OLD IGX00041 REMOVED FROM SYS1.LPALIB?  IF
        THE NPM GRAPHICS SVC MODULE IGX00041 WAS LINKED INTO
        SYS1.LPALIB, SMP/E WILL NOT REMOVE THIS MODULE DURING
        THE INSTALLATION OF NPM R4 OR NPM R4.1.  IF YOU DO
        NOT, THE TARGET SYSTEM WILL USE THE PREVIOUS RELEASE
        OF THIS MODULE INSTEAD OF NPM R4 OR NPM R4.1'S IGX00041
        MODULE IN SFNMLPA1.
  BASIC REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION:
    - SEE NPM DIAGNOSIS, LY20-0381
      UNDER 'DOCUMENTING NPM GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM PROBLEMS'.
  
  BASIC GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL NPM RELEASES:
   1. SUPPORTED VERSIONS OF GRAPHICAL DATA DISPLAY MANAGER (GDDM)
      SUPPORTED VERSIONS OF PRESENTATION GRAPHICS FEATURE (PGF)
   2. MVS NPM, TSO and the GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED
      ON THE SAME OPERATING SYSTEM.
   3. THE FOLLOWING GRAPHIC TERMINAL CAPABILITIES:
      A. QUERY CAPABILITY
      B. PROGRAMMED SYMBOL SETS
      C. EXTENDED COLOR
      D. EXTENDED HIGHLIGHT SUPPORT
      E. AT LEAST A 32 LINE DISPLAY. (D/T3270 MOD3 OR MOD4 OR
         D/T3279 MOD S3G ARE EXAMPLES.)
      REFER TO GRAPHIC DATA DISPLAY INSTALLATION AND SYSTEM
      MANAGEMENT FOR DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS.
  ****************************************************************
   THIS APAR CONTAINS INFORMATION ON THE NPM GRAPHIC SUBSYSTEM
   INSTALLATION.
  *
  1. WAS THE FNMMISC JCL RUN TO LINK-EDIT THE NPM GRAPHIC
     SUBSYSTEM TO THE GDDM SUBROUTINES?  (SYS1.GDDMLOAD
     CONTAINS THE GDDM SUBROUTINES.)  FNMMISC JCL IS
     IN THE SFNMJCL1 DATASET.
     (NOTE: UNRESOLVED WEAK EXTERNAL REFERENCES
      ARE TO BE EXPECTED, MSGIEW0132, CC=08 )
      ********
      Please Note: FNMMISC pulls object modules from
      AFNMMOD1, so any NPM graphics maintenance must
      be ACCEPTED prior to running FNMMISC.
  
  2. IF THE GRAPHICS MONITOR IS TO BE USED, WAS FNMIGX41 COPIED
     TO SYS1.LPALIB, OR TO SFNMLPA1, AS IGX00041?
        AFTER THE COPY WAS AN IPL WITH CLPA PERFORMED?
  
  3.  IS SYS1.GDDMLOAD EITHER:
      A.  PART OF THE MVS LINKLIST OR
      B.  CONCATENATED TO THE STEPLIB IN THE TSO LOGON PROCEDURE?
  
  4.  IS THE FNMGMON SAMPLE TSO CLIST BEING USED TO INVOKE
      THE NPM GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM?  FNMGMON IS IN THE SFNMJCL1
      DATASET.
  
  5.  TO REQUEST MONITOR DATA FROM NPM THESE REQUIREMENTS
      MUST BE MET:
  
      A.  THE MODULE IGX00041 MUST BE INSTALLED INTO AN
          LPALIB AND A CLPA MUST HAVE BEEN DONE.
  
      B.  THE NGRAPHS STATEMENT IN THE FNMINIT MEMBER
          MUST SPECIFY A VALUE OF MAXMON GREATER THAN ZERO.
          EXAMPLE:
               NGRAPHS MAXMON=4    THIS ALOWS UP TO FOUR
                                   SIMULTANEOUS REQUESTS.
  
      C.  EACH TSO USER THAT WILL BE USING THE GRAPHICS
          MONITOR MUST BE DEFINED TO NPM IN AN NPM
          OPERATOR STATEMENT.
          EXAMPLE:
               OPERATOR NAME=USERID1,PASSWD=USERID1,
                        PROFILE=GRAPHICS,EXTERNAL=YES
  
          THE NAME PARAMETER MUST BE THE SAME AS THE TSO
          USERID.  IF THE USER IS ALSO ALLOWED TO LOGON TO
          NPM, THEN THIS OPERATOR ID MAY ALSO BE USED.
  
          A PASSWORD MUST ALWAYS BE SPECIFIED
          (EVEN WITH SECURITY=RACF).
  
          THE FIRST PROFILE NAME (OR ONLY) IS USED FOR
          FOR GRAPHICS MONITOR REQUESTS.
  
          THE EXTERNAL=YES ALLOWS NPM OPERATORS TO SEND
          MESSAGES TO TSO USERS.  THESE MESSAGES WILL
          APPEAR ON THE TSO TERMINAL. SEE OPTION 3.7
          ON THE NPM ONLINE SCREEN.
  
      D.  THE PROFILE DEFINED ON THE NPM OPERATOR STATEMENT
          MUST BE DEFINED TO ALLOW GRAPHICS MONITOR REQUESTS.
          THE PROFILE STATEMENT IS DEFINED IN THE FNMPROF
          MEMBER OF THE FNMPARM DATASET.
          EXAMPLE:
               PROFILE NAME=GRAPHICS,GRPHMON=YES,...
  
          THE GRPHMON=YES ALLOWS GRAPHICS MONITOR REQUESTS
          TO BE PROCESSED.
  
      E.  WERE COLLECTION COMMANDS EXECUTED?  IN ORDER
          FOR THE GRAPHICS MONITOR TO MONITOR DATA, THERE
          MUST BE NETWORK AND/OR SESSION COLLECTION
          COMMANDS ISSUED.
  
  6.  NOTES:
  
      A.  VARIOUS 'DATA SET IN USE' MESSAGES WHILE RUNNING
          GRAPHICS, (I.E. MSGIKJ56335I, MSGIKJ56225I, ETC.)
          WHEN RUNNING THE NPM GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM, THE
          USE OF ANY VSAM IDCAMS FUNCTION (REPRO, VERIFY,
          ETC.) IN THE NPM START-UP PROC WILL CAUSE
          AN EXCLUSIVE ENQUEUE ON THE VSAM DATASETS. IT
          IS RECOMMENDED THE JOB STREAMS FOR IDCAMS
          AND NPM START-UP BE RUN SEPARATELY.
  
      B.  AFTER APPLYING A NEW RELEASE OF GDDM
          OR APPLYING MAINTENANCE TO GDDM, RERUN
          THE FNMMISC JCL TO PICK UP CHANGES TO
          GDDM.
  
      C.  MODULE FNMMODE (NPM V1R2) HAS BEEN REPLACED
          BY MODULE FNMGRAPH (NPM V1R3).
  
      D. INCORROUT- IF GARBLED SCREENS ARE EXPERIENCED THIS
         CAN BE CORRECTED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING TO THE GDDM
         ADMDEFS DATA SET:
         ADMMDFT IOSYNCH=YES
  
      E. WHILE SOME UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL REFERENCES CAN BE
         EXPECTED WHEN EXECUTING FNMMISC (AS REFERENCED IN THE
         PROGRAM DIRECTORY), YOU SHOULD NOT RECEIVE UNRESOLVED
         EXTERNAL REFERENCES FOR CHRNIT, CHAREA, CHHMAR, CHUMAR,
         CHAATT, CHLATT, CHXSET, CHXPUT ETC. THESE ARE PGF
         (PRESENTATION GRAPHICS FEATURE) MACROS AND THIS INDICATES
         THAT THE PGF FEATURE IS EITHER NOT INSTALLED OR NOT
         ACCESSABLE TO FNMMISC. PGF IS REQUIRED FOR NPM GRAPHICS
         AND FAILURE TO INCLUDE IT WILL RESULT IN AN ABEND0C1
         WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START GRAPHICS.
  
  ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:
    1. MSGADM0313 INVALID RECORD attempting to bring up NPM
       graphics. NPM.V1R5M0.SFNMGPL0 had multiple extents.

        TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN MSGFNM656E RC68. AN ABENDS016D
        RC8 WILL BE GENERATED INDICATING AN UNSUPPORTED EXTENDED
        SVC WAS SPECIFIED. SEE INSTALLATION AND CUSTOMIZATION
