  1. Start the master PAS by using the following parameters: 

    START <procName>,[SSID=BBCS],[PASMODE=OBSERVE],[POLICY=NO-POLICY]

    For more information, see Starting-the-iCap-master-PAS.

    Note

    If the master PAS is already running, you can change to observe mode without restarting the master PAS by using a MODIFY command. For more information, see Changing-the-iCap-mode.

  2. Access iCap views to collect system information.For more information about accessing the EZICAP menu, see Accessing-iCap.

    You can collect policy information from the POLOVER view. This view shows information about LPARs and groups. If NO-POLICY is specified, this view lists all of the z/OS LPARs and groups running on your system. If a policy is specified, this view shows information about only the LPARs and groups that are managed by the active policy. For more information, see Displaying-an-overview-of-the-active-policy.
