I have a slight issue with letting users run this type of “job” (or tso command). I have spent countless hours in meeting discussing this type of command. BTW the arguement always comes down trying to explain time of incident to ongoing. The users tend to think themselves “experts” and trying to show that they are not is an exercise in futility. There is not enough time in the day to explain to end users what the output of a GQSCAN means. Personally I have sat in one specific meeting and trying to explain what their perception is an issue and after 30 minutes come to the conclusion that they jumped to the wrong conclusion. The time I have wasted starts the gray hair coming out at an alarming rate. Knowledge is fine just don’t expect the end user to even begin understanding the fundamentals without a giant leap of knowledge.
