We recently experienced an outage due to an operator command being executed on the wrong LPAR because the operator neglected to include the RO portion of the command. The command being executed was F BPXOINIT,SHUTDOWN=FORKINIT. Now Management would like all destructive commands to have a WTOR which the operator would be asked "Do you really want to execute this command" and provide the opportunity to reply "NO" to abort the command. IBM recommends using the MVS Commands Installation Exit and the .CMD in MPFLST. Has anyone tried using that exit in this fashion? Would you care to share your pain or pleasure? Has anyone found a better solution to this problem? Thanks for sharing your experience.
