Using the /TEST MFS Command

The virtual terminal /TEST MFS commands allows you to activate and deactivate MFS TEST mode for a virtual terminal or virtual printer, before the terminal control blocks have been created. The format of the /TEST MFS command depends on the version of IMS run on your system.

You can use the following keywords with the /TEST MFS commands:

NODE

This parameter indicates that the MFS TEST mode should follow the node control block and should not be tied to the user.

nodename

The node name. The node must exist at the time the /TEST MFS command is issued, or you must have specified a non-zero value for the Maximum Virtual Terminal pending entries field on the Virtual Terminal Limits panel in the IMSID basic options.

Note

When Resource Manager (RM) is active, the node name restrictions do not apply. TEST status applies across the sysplex.

USER

This parameter indicates that the MFS TEST mode should follow the user control block and should not be tied to the node. If a user logs off one node and logs back on to another node, the TEST MFS status of that user should still be in effect.

username

The name of the user/SPQB. The user/SPQB must exist at the time the /TEST MFS command is issued, or you must have specified a non-zero value for the Maximum Virtual Terminal pending entries field on the Virtual Terminal Limits panel in the IMSID basic options.

Note

When Resource Manager (RM) is active, the user name restrictions do not apply. TEST status applies across the sysplex.
