Workspace Debug for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Jun 9, 2021

Start/stop debug region in multiple LPARs with the use of preferences

For debug IMS isolation

Ability to start/stop two different private IMS regions in parallell LPARs using different job cards for each job that is started.

When starting one region from configuration option Remote IMS application with Isolation, a new job cannot start in another connection using the same jobname. Specific IMS system can only be started from specific LPAR.

The suggestion would be to be able to set the job card in the preferences, one job card for each connection with ability to specify SYSAFF parameters in each jobcard, in order for the job to start in the correct LPAR.
(Or make use of an existing property group to generate the job card.)
