Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

I have to create a new ISPF-Applikation with the following Goals:

1. Display the Status of Groups of Started Tasks (i.e. DB2, MQ, CICS ...)
2. Update the Status from "Green" (Tasks are Up) to "Red" (one of the Tasks of the group is down)
3. Display all LPARS on one Screen.
4. Use only SDSF, TSO and ISPF

I choose SDSF to get the status of the tasks and i display the result in a ISPF Panel. If I press ENTER
the Panel is updated and all is fine.

But unfortunately we find no Operater sitting in front of the display and press every minute enter.
We found no monkey in the operator group.

Do you have any idea to solve this problem.

Thanks in before

MAINVIEW does exactly this when autorefresh (not sure if that's the right name) is turned on. I suspect it is using some form of ECB wait to trigger simulation of an enter key being hit, but unfortunately I have no idea how it does that. I expect that the coding is not very simple and almost certainly requires use of system resources an application programmer would not have access to.

I solved the Problem to operate with timers using the STIMERM Macro. Now I have the problem to redisplay the panel and simulating an <ENTER>.

Do you have any idea.

thanks in before

this Problem is solved. If somebody is interested in, I can support him with a sample.

Sure please share the sample. It might help someone later looking for a similar problem.
