Hi, Bryan,

Unfortunately, QLZARCAPI does not include information about the LPAR.

See:
????https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/example-using-dlpargetinfo-api-get-numerical-partition-id-logical-partition-lpar?

and:
????https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_ibm_i_71/apis/dlpar_get_info.htm

for all the info. you can retrieve with this API.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

subject: Re: Quick easy way to determine what LPAR you're on?

Not the system name. The LPAR ID. Preferably in hex.

It wouldn't be a problem on most of our customer boxes, because they have either QuestView or Wintouch installed, and the authorization code utilities for those products display model, serial, and LPAR (the latter in BOTH hex AND decimal).

And QLZARCAPI seems to return everything BUT the LPAR ID.

Mark's (on-List) reply, however, did the job. Thanks.

If you happen to have Prodata's DBU software product installed and have either installed it recently or executed the DBUPTF command there is a command DBUSYSINF that will display information about the system including the Partition Name.

Option 7 against the first comm processor in the list. It will look
similar to this:

The number 2 after "V" is the partition number. This works on all
systems from POWER5 and up.

subject: RE: Quick easy way to determine what LPAR you're on?

Dr Franken (Larry B) and Brian Dietz are the way I would look.

Call QLZARCAPI is part of the PRYSYSINF repository of LPAR info I keep
on our LAN for reference. Every time I update PTF's, there are several
steps I take:
Call QLZARCAPI, PRTSYSINF and SYSSNAP from QMGTOOLS.
Just use ACS to get the spooled files from PRTSYSINF and SYSSNAP.
QLZARCAPI is a screen print I keep.

For jobd's, I wrote a small pgm that does a DSPJOBD *PRINT.
Best way to keep system info handy at the drop of a hat. Along with BRMS
recovery reports.

subject: COMMON Could Use Your Help!

I thought this would be really great for the people here, since these
e-mail groups are all about quick concepts and tips!

We're running out of time to get suggestions for sessions at our
NAViGATE conference. This is a new concept -- 20 minute sessions, so
there will be more quick learning of concepts or tips rather than
in-depth learning at this one. I think this will be fun! I know that
when I was working for a magazine, programming tips were always our most
popular topic -- and here we have a chance to have a whole conference
about them!

We need your help:

1. Please submit ideas for topics that would make a good 20 minute
session 2. If you'd like to give a session, this is a great chance to
get
started with an short 20 minute one.
3. If you're already a regular speaker, of course, we'd love to hear
your session.

BUT WE NEED THE SUBMISSIONS BY MONDAY, FEB 8 !! ACK!

Conference will be available for virtual access, so no travel is needed.

It might depend on what particular identifying information you're
looking for.

If your LPARs have different system names, you can use DSPNETA to get
the current system name.

Most IBM screens have the system (LPAR) name in the top right corner.

James,

If you just want to know the LPAR #, you can use this little CL program:

????? PGM????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?
????? DCL??????? VAR(&RECEIVER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(256)?????????????? ?
????? DCL??????? VAR(&FORMAT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4) VALUE(X'00000001')
????? DCL??????? VAR(&SIZE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4) VALUE(X'00000100')? ?
????? DCL??????? VAR(&LPARNBR) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)???????????????? ?
????? CALLPRC??? PRC('dlpar_get_info') PARM((&RECEIVER) +????????? ?
?????????????????? (&FORMAT *BYVAL) (&SIZE *BYVAL))??????????????? ?
????? CHGVAR???? VAR(&LPARNBR) VALUE(%BIN(&RECEIVER 41 4))???????? ?
????? SNDPGMMSG? MSG(&LPARNBR) TOPGMQ(*EXT)??????????????????????? ?
????? ENDPGM?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?

Hope that helps,
