Thread id using BPX1GTH

2020-09-17 Thread Pierre Fichaud
For the current TCB, I want to extract the thread id. I'm using BPX1GTH. I'm varying the values for PGTHACCESSID and PGAACCESSTHID. When I get zeros for return value, return code and reason code, the thread id is always 0. I'm wondering if this is the right approach. If it is, what values are

SMF 119 sub-type 6 (interface Stats)

If anyone has experience with these records, I have a question. There are 2 section with this sub-type aside from the ID section. In the sample SMF files provided to me, I haven't seen a non-zero count for section 2. I have seen the count for section be 2. Can I assume that if the count for

There are many of them. I'm guessing these are hex floating point. Could someone confirm this or correct me ? Thanks, Pierre. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to

I can't find a macro that generates a mapping for the SMF 109 type record. It is described in the Communications Server IP Programmer's Guide and Reference. IBM has documented the record in "Appendix C Type 109 SMF records" but has not provided a mapping macro. Thanks in advance, Pierre.

I had initially mentioned that more than 1 file could be generated by 1 producer. There could also be more than 1 producer on the LPAR. I would assign 1 sub-task (written in assembler) to each zFS file. I need to read the log records produced by an application. Once the application has closed

I must continuously monitor ("read") a Unix file that contains diagnostics. I open the file, parse the records and possibly produce output. Once I've read all the records, I need to wait (or be blocked) until more data arrives. Then I process the new records. But I want to know when the writer
