Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of SDSF V2R5 and 3.1 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: DEV and UCB panels do not show * * subchannel set * **************************************************************** The Device Activity (DEV) and Unit Control Blocks (UCB) panels show the device address but not the subchannel set for the device. The subchannel set is needed to distinguish between primary and secondary devices. For SDSF 3.1, new columns for the subchannel set and 5 character device address (the subchannel set plus the device address) are needed. For SDSF V2R5, the DEV and UCB data gatherers need to obtain the subchannel set so it can be displayed when viewed from an SDSF 3.1 system. This APAR can be applied at any time but it will not be fully effective until it is applied on all systems in the sysplex. When running SDSF 3.1 and viewing a device on a V2R5 system, this APAR must be installed on both 3.1 and V2R5 for the subchannel set to be shown. Subchannel set information is not shown for any device when viewed from a SDSF V2R5 system. See the doc hold associated with this PTF for more information.
Problem conclusion
For 3.1, SDSF has been updated to add the SS (subchannel set) and SSUNIT (subchannel set device unit) columns to the DEV and UCB panels. For V2R5, the DEV and UCB data gatherers have been updated to obtain the subchannel set for a device. This will appear when viewed from the SDSF 3.1 DEV and UCB panels.
