OK to run on GDPS K-lpars? > The HWIBCPII task would usually be started at IPL time but you can also issue the "S HWISTART" command to start/restart it. There is a very good presentation from Steve Warren "BCPii for Dummies: Start to Finish - Installation, Setup and Usage". Do a Google search for it. There are some setup tasks to be done on the HMC, RACF (or whatever ESM you use) definitions. If you want to make use of things such as Capacity Provisioning Manager (CPM), AutoIPL etc, then BCPii needs to be in place.
