Basic analysis with the QAOIVPBA EXEC
The QAOIVPBA EXEC performs the basic level of analysis of the IVP. This EXEC is distributed as a compiled REXX EXEC in the REXX EXEC library. Copy this EXEC from the REXX library to a data set in your PAS JCL SYSPROC DD concatenation. The QAOIVP EXEC schedules the QAOIVPBA EXEC when the QAOIVP EXEC is scheduled with its default vales or when you specify LEVEL(B).
The QAOIVPBA EXEC verifies the following functions:
Function being tested | Result status |
|---|---|
Installed MainView AutoOPERATOR components and MainView product packages (passwords) | Lists the installed and active MainView AutoOPERATOR components and MainView product packages |

BBI commands | PASS: BBI commands complete with IMFCC=0 and response is received FAIL: BBI commands fail with IMFCC greater than 0, or no response is received |
MVS commands | PASS: MVS commands complete with IMFCC=0 and response is received FAIL: MVS commands fail with IMFCC greater than 0, or no response is received |
Sysprog services | PASS: Sysprog services are active in the PAS, or not required FAIL: Sysprog services are not active in the PAS with the MainView AutoOPERATOR for z/OS product option active |

Journal switch | PASS: BBI Journal can be switched and set correctly WARN: BBI Journals switch fails |
Results
The results from the IVP procedure are displayed in the Journal, the Syslog, or both depending on what setting you specified with the MSGDEST keyword when you scheduled the QAOIVP EXEC.
For the MainView AutoOPERATOR components and MainView installed packages, the results are reported in a list. For each test, a message is issued that indicates the result status which can be PASS, WARN, or FAIL as described in the following list:
- PASS: Indicates that the specific test completed successfully.
- WARN: Indicates that the specific test failed, but it does not indicate a critical problem. This result may indicate that an optional feature is not activated. Review the feature being tested and determine if you need to activate it.
- FAIL: Indicates that the specific test failed and this is a critical problem.
Additional messages are also issued when the status is FAIL. When the status for any test is FAIL, review the messages to investigate and take additional action as indicated by the messages.
