IPLCheck generates a clear, detailed report that outlines which members and settings would be used during an IPL, highlighting any errors, warnings, or inconsistencies. This helps system programmers proactively troubleshoot and confirm configurations before making live changes.
IPLCheck Uses
Comprehensive Configuration Validation:
It thoroughly checks critical components such as LOADxx, IEASYSxx, PROGxx, and other PARMLIB members for correctness, presence, and syntax. It also validates system parameters, symbols, and dataset references to catch potential issues early.
Simulation of the IPL Process:
IPLCheck simulates the Initial Program Load sequence by reading and validating the same datasets and configuration members the system would use during a real IPL. This allows teams to verify the setup without restarting the system.
