Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx

As part of a different project we've developed an iSeries syslog agent
that can read logs like QAUDJRN and format and deliver messages to a
backend syslog server. It's fully featured (RFC5424) and robust (got a
lot more than the commercial packages out there) and it's FREE. It can
operate in real time or as a scheduled process and has loads of filters
and options for prioritizing and customizing messages.

It was written by a couple of seasoned iSeries coders that are just
getting back into the iSeries space and they're throwing this out there
for anyone that could use it. As I said it's free - but we would
appreciate a little feedback. Send me an email if you'd like a copy and
I'll tell you where you can download it.

subject: Re: HMC session hung

A recommended best practice is to always use a "shared" session and NOT a
"dedicated" session. Using a shared session allows
- Multiple people to review the system console. Useful when system is in
a dedicated state and the operator calls up the system admin to work on a
problem (or has IBM connect in).
- Allows you to use share the session from a PC where access may be more
ergonomic than where your HMC is mounted. Also allows you to get copy
screens and stuff.

If you try to start a shared session from your PC and it hasn't been
started from the HMC directly first you will get prompted for the password
twice. At that time I would recommend you kill the session on your PC. Go
over to the HMC and start the shared session there. Then return to your
PC and start again.

Also, it would help us if you told us what level of HMC you are running.
On your HMC go to Updates. You may see something like:
HMC Code Level
Version: 7 Build Level: 20100225.1 Serial Number: 103404A
Release: 7.1.0 Base Version: V7R7.1.0 Model Type: eserver xSeries 335
-[7310CR2]-
Service Pack: 1 BIOS: T2E139AUS
