Hello and thank you, I'll try to explain better the situation that I encountered a month ago. I'm a Control Room operator and we were asked to shutdown & IPL an LPAR. The main console was down due to an unplanned maintanace, so I had to use the Operating System Messages console within the HMC. I launched the closure clist that usually works fine. Anyway, at a certain point during the closure on the console I start receiving messages that the buffers were full. So I tought that issueing a "K Q" command will fix it. Unfortunately, it didn't happened so - "The command is not available for extended consoles".During this time I wasn't able to send any command. After 15 minutes or so, the situation turned to normal "magically". Of corse I had to finish closing all the task manually. Next day I asked our ZOS guys if there is some command available, but I didn't received any clear response. So, here I am.... It seems strange that in this case there is nothing that can be done! BTW: this was the only partition up&running on the PLEX so sending commands from other LPAR's was out of the question
I saw also an older post on the IBM MAIN Archive that explain pretty well how the EMCS works - it think it was Kevin Kelley. Perhaps it was a stupid question ... I'm a rookie ... but that's how you learn things Thank you once again, Bye Dan Gherciu ________________________________ Da: W.

Most users of the interface have the ability to manipulate the queue of messages presented to the interface, so a K Q equivalent for them is unnecessary. There is no way for the System Console to manipulate its message queues (indeed there are two of them: one on the z/OS console support side -- an EMCS queue, and another within the HMC). Conceptually it wouldn't be too hard to provide a K Q equivalent for the z/OS console support side; the HMC guys would have to get involved for their side. I suspect that solving the z/OS console support side of the problem would probably fix or relieve the HMC side as well. If solving this problem is important to you, then I would suggest submitting a requirement through SHARE. We would be interested in hearing about what you use the HMC System Console for. W.
