Issue/Introduction

The client would like to set up another DRAS task, for testing Web Viewer 12.1

Resolution

As the client was running View/DRAS 12.2 and WebViewer 12.1, there can be multiple DRAS tasks running in the same LPAR or sysplex.

Each DRAS task is identified, not only in the task name, but in the "//CAHFDCFG DD ..." (configuration file) statements.

The identifier, in the configuration file, is the "SET SERVER ID(xxxxxxxx)" statement.

As long as the ID set in the parentheses is unique from the ID in other tasks, there can be a separate entity, to enable multiple occurrences.
