Of course Barbara is right. Operlog for the same reIPL I quoted in my previous post shows the full sequence of shutdown messages pretty much up to the XCF wait state. So there is a clear advantage to letting operlog run right up to the edge of the cliff. Do not shut it down. . . . J.O.Skip

Hi All, By IPCS 2.2, i believe he means option 2.2 from the main panel which points to IP STATUS. We saw this internally recently-- I believe this specific 878-10 is due to the installation of a ++APAR for OA43495 which I think is for new hardware toleration. Either some versions of the

This is working for 2 or 3 decades at least since SVS. You could see the block of messages, like IEA101A Specify system parameters, inserted into Syslog some time after syslog was active. I believe, they have been reordered to appear now in correct chronological order. This is the same buffer

​We use SYSLOG, not OPERLOG. And I see the NIP messages in it. It appears that they are buffered and written to SYSLOG once JES2 comes up and SYSLOG is available. Given our small size, I don't know if this buffer is a wrap around and so might lose messages if there are a lot of them before
