What you want to do can be done using the HMC. You can activate/IPL an LPAR on a scheduled basis. I don't recall all of the steps involved, but you start by using Single Object selection with your CPC already selected. From there you can select an option that will give you automatic operations and drill down to the LPAR level to do what you want.

Anyone have a product or written an API? We would like to activate our test lpar (monoplex) at 7am so when we get in at 8am, the system is up. We can't leave it up overnight because we need the cpu to do heavy production processing. -----------------------------------<unsnip>------------------------------ Why not just leave it up? An idle z/OS image only consumes a small percentage of the CPU. If you're that close in getting your night production finished on time, perhaps an upgrade is on the horizon. How efficient are the programs used in that night production? How old are they? Ditto for the JCL. At Clearing, we moved two statements in a COBOL program and cut the run time from over 4 hours to under 20 minutes.
