Resolution

The SSXTINFO utility is a Rexx routine which displays information regarding Deliver tasks, SARXTD intercepts and XMS regions. When Deliver, SARXTD and XMS tasks are started, their corresponding subsys-id is inserted into the systems SSCT (Subsystem Control Table).

When SSXTINFO is invoked, the SSCT is scanned for a requested subsys-id. For Deliver and SARXTD, the default subsys-id is 'EBCX'. For XMS regions, the user is prompted for a subsys-id value.

To execute the SSXTINFO utility type the following command:

ex 'cai.view.cvdecls0(ssxtinfo)'.
The user is prompted with the following options:

Enter DLVR  to display the SSTX chain for Deliver and SARXTD
Enter XMS   to display a SUBSYS-ID address
Enter ?     to display REXX exec information

If DLVR is entered, information is displayed regarding currently running CA Deliver tasks and active SARXTD intercepts.

If XMS is entered, the user is prompted for a SUBSYS id value. After you enter the subsys id value, information for the XMS region running under the entered subsys id value is displayed.
