SP INPUT AND OUTPUT FILES
SP asks you to specify both input and output files. The default for the input
file is [sys]<sys>CP.run, the standard diagnostic. The output file, which you
must specify, is the custom diagnostics generated by SP. SP does not modify the
input file in any way.
SP OPTIONS
SP then displays the following questions:
Do you want the custom diagnostic to:
Pause for power configuration check?
Stop on a configuration violation?
Allow user to do his own selections?
If you want to create custom diagnostics that will not pause for power
configuration checks, answer N to the first query and possibly the second as well.
The third query affects the manner in which hardware modules are chosen for
testing. The default, Y, lets the user select the modules to be tested, as in the
normal case. If you specify N, you are not given the opportunity to select
modules; instead, only hardware modules of a type already selected are tested.
MODULE SELECTION IN SP
The SP display is similar to that of the standard diagnostics. However, SP shows
all the various types of hardware modules available for the system, not just those
present at the time they are displayed.
There will be more modules in the SP display than will fit across the bottom of
the screen, as indicated by three dots (...) at the right edge. The display
scrolls when the cursor is moved off the right edge, revealing more modules. When
the cursor is moved off the left edge, the display scrolls back.
SP allows dialogue queries to be marked and answered for modules that are not
present, exactly as modules are tested in the standard diagnostics.
