Two VSE people at once. Is VSE making a comeback?
How do you want to use the information, and do you not have access to a POWER display? |

I have access to Power.
I will with this job check that all "STC's (z/OS)" will running. This Job should run maybe every 15 Min. Is a Task not running I will write a message to display or send a mail to a system operator. |

Now that seems to be a completely different question.
You have z/VSE and z/OS running under z.VM and you want to monitor STCs on z/OS from z/VSE? |

No I have only a z/VM and a lot of z/VSE's. In z/OS we call programs they run 7/24 STC's. Now I will check a VSE region like C1 and I will check that in C1 CICS is running. This JCL should be use to check every region that we use for programs that run 7x24 hours. |

Certainly JCL cannot do that - it only tells the OS what programs you want to run and iwhat resources those programs need. |

Yes I known that, but with a tool you can check the region is active or not. I want execute that only in batch. A rexx is also fine and I can execute that in batch.
After x years I'm back on VM/VSE and I need a little help. The last 25 years I was working on a z/OS System. I'm known also JCL and utilities on a z/OS but not on z/VM.
Thanx |

OK, I found a solution for this Problem. I can implement that in a scheduler and send a message to console. After them I check with rexxcon this message and execute a new rexx that check which task are running.
Thanx @ all |

why the double jump ?, isn' t the scheduler capable of sending an email.
even if for such cases - where immediate actions are to be taken -
an email is not the right communication channel
why not check if the email can be sent as an sms to a list of portable phones |

@enrio-scrichetti
The JCL is the trigger which will start every 15 Min. This trigger display a msg, this msg will be checked in REXXCONS. In the REXXCONS I will check the POWER Region an which regions are active. If I found a region that is not up and running then starts the alerting. The alerting can be a email, a sms, a message on console or ... . |
