What is a CPC name? Do you mean eg 51-13667 which would be the serial number? (Probably with lots of zeroes in it.)
The reason I ask is because I'd quite like customers to be able to name their machine e.g "Flossie". :-) When I speak to customers using their RMF data I use the serial number to denote the machine but THEY often go "oh, that's 'Flossie'" but there's nowhere I know of to tell the machine what it's called. :-) Martin (not anthropomorphising computers as I gather they don't like it) :-) Martin Packer, Mainframe Performance Consultant, zChampion Worldwide Banking Center of Excellence, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker From: Stan Weyman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 17/03/2011 13:55 Subject: How to get the CPC name on which the current system is running Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> I'm looking for areas in z/OS where I can get the CPC name that the current system is running on. The IPA is a possibility but looks to be populated via LOADxx and we've had issues with the HWNAME filtering causing problems with the CPC name. I've looked at IBM's CSRSI service and they have a neat setup where you can request information at the CPC, LPAR, or VM level *OR* any combination of the three. However, in IBM's infinite wisdom it appears they left the CPC name off the list of information returned via a CPC call <sigh>. They have a CPCNAME defined in the macro expansion but it is an ORG of the LPARNAME and is in the LPAR area, not the CPC area so it's not a matter of doing a single vs multiple call type. Very strange they would leave out the CPC name. I've used the REXX CONSOLE interface in the past to do a D M=CPU and then GETMSG to retrieve it but I'd prefer not to use this method. Does anyone know where the CPC name is obtained when D M=CPU is issued or, barring that, another place I can get the CPC name?
