Re: UPS QUESTION

Actually several messages can be generated from this little cable.  
Check out the following:
CPI0963  80   System on auxiliary power.
CPI0964  80   Weak battery condition exists.
CPI097A  60   System power restored at &1.
CPI0973  80   Weak battery condition no longer exists.
CPI0974  80   UPS has been bypassed.                  
CPI0975  80   UPS no longer bypassed.                 
CPP3502   0   UPS reported a battery low condition
CPP3503   0   Uninterruptible Power System reported a bypass active
CPP3504   0   UPS battery low condition turned off                 
CPP3505   0   UPS reported bypass no longer active                 
CPF1816  80   System utility power failed at &1.  
CPF1817  60   System utility power restored at &1.
CPI0961  80   Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) no longer attached.
CPI0962  80   Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) now attached.      

A DSPLOG with the option MSGID() should help you.

I've tested our power supply many times.  You should see the people 
running from terror as I throw the 3 pole breaker in the computer 
room during the middle of the day.  Especially after I mentioned, 
'Gee, I'm glad we used your security card to enter.'  It's a hoot!
I am waiting for the first induhvidual to try the breaker on the
wrong side of the UPS.

We do have paging software monitor the message queue specified in 
system value QUPSMSGQ.

The system as 2 sysvals  QUPSDLYTIM and  QUPSMSGQ. The ups cable is simply 
a cable that says open or closed (NO ac to UPS or YES ac to UPS). Its up 
to you to set the   QUPSDLYTIM sysval correctly and if you want handle the 
system yourself then you need to monitor the msgq in QUPSMSGQ with your 
own pgm. The system has no idea that the UPS is about to die except 
through the time set in QUPSDLYTIM

friday the power line to our ups was unplugged. Our help desk say they saw 
no 
messages in qsysopr about. We found out when the as400 started powering 
itself down. What a scramble a the end of friday. When ipled the qsysopr 
msg 
q was cleared out. 

I looked in the log the only entry i saw was 

System utility power failed at 000512151401. 15:14:00

then these

 Machine ineligible condition threshold reached.
 Ineligible condition threshold reached for pool 02. 15:34:00

then the end

shouldn't there be a entry about ups time out or something?

thank you
jeff g.
