Table 5: request state
The HSMS statement SHOW-REQUESTS supplies information about the requests in the request file and their states. By default the statement provides information on all requests in the SF environment and all existing SM environments. In SM environments, additional information is provided about the request inhibit mechanism. The “HOST/TSN” field displays the host that has just inhibited the request. Only active requests (status ACCEPTED or STARTED) are locked by their processing host.
It is possible to obtain information about individual requests selected via
an HSMS environment (request file of the SF or of an SM environment)
their names as defined at request creation
their states
their creation dates
their user IDs (restricted to the HSMS administrator)
the archive for which the requests were created (restricted to archive owner and HSMS administrator)
