Verify installation

To ensure that the OptiConnect code and objects have been installed correctly, run the Check Product Option (CHKPRDOPT) command.

To verify a successful installation, follow these steps:

  1. Start the OptiConnect subsystem. Enter the following command on all systems:
        STRSBS QSOC/QSOC
  2. Check the operator messages for the messages that were issued when QSOC subsystem was started. Enter the following command on all systems:
        DSPMSG *SYSOPR

    The following messages should appear after a successful initiation of the OptiConnect Connection Manager:

      Subsystem QSOC in library QSOC starting.
      Subsystem QSOC started.
      OptiConnect connection manager started at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.
      OptiConnect connected to SYSTEMA using SOC01 at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.
      OptiConnect connected to SYSTEMB using SOC02 at mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss.

    The number of messages (and adapter types within the messages) you see depend on the following:

  3. Enter the command VFYOPCCNN from the command line

    This begins the installation verification. It ensures system-to-system connection within the cluster. Check your joblog for the completion message.

      OptiConnect verification test completed with no errors. 
  4. Use the Work with OptiConnect Activity (WRKOPCACT) command to check the OptiConnect activity on the systems in the cluster. Enter:
        QSOC/WRKOPCACT

    You should see activity as a result of the Verify OptiConnect Connection (VFYOPCCNN) procedure. VFYOPCCNN causes the system to act as a client to each of the other systems in the network. See Work with OptiConnect activity (WRKOPCACT) for more information on how to use this command.

  5. To confirm that the hardware connections are operational and show the operational status of the bus receiver cards, enter:
        WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CSA)

    The Work with Hardware Resources (WRKHDWRSC) command TYPE(*CSA) displays a resource for each remote system that had, at some point, an operational connection to the system on which you are entering the command. See Work with hardware resources (WRKHDWRSC).
