Thanks to those that replied. We collect the LOAD PARM information so and update a chart for our operations staff based on the last IPL. This way if the hardware unit does an update what I called the HCD or IODF dynamically and do an activate we capture it, this way if it doesn’t match we automate an email to our staff. This way we check our LOADxx member matches the volume where the IODFxx is on DASD.
The goal: We know it from yes (Mark's rexx exec, agree it's very useful) the current one but if it's changed dynamically the code doesn’t pick it up, is there a way to pick it up through another exec or anything else? And yes we control dynamic activations via RACF and yes only hardware staff can do it. -------------------------- SNIP ------------------- 2. D IOS,CONFIG shows current configuration (IODF name) for both HSA and MVS, but it doesn't show whether the config was activated after IPL. Even case where IODF HSA <> IODF MVS does not mean there was an activate, because system could be IPLed with non-matching IODF (which in turn disallow dynamic changes). 3. AFAIK Mark's IPLINFO (great tool BTW, thank you Mark!) does not show whether dynamic change took place. BTW: What's the goal? IMHO there are some other methods to get such information. Not to mention dynamic activate should be strictly controlled and performed only by persons who really know what they do.
