John, have a gander in the z/VM OPERATOR log at about the time the event happened. Would not be the first time that someone logged off instead of disconnecting a z/OS guest. There again, if the z/OS guest was disconnected in an "unclean" way that is a another thing altogether. In the z/VM OPERATOR log, also search for 'logged off by system'. Bon courage! => One of the first investigative tasks handed to me at my new job... => => ...and I don't know where to start. => => => => Got a z-OS 1.9 system, that runs as a guest under z/VM.
