Querying operation information

When you are viewing a list of operations, you can request detailed information about a particular operation by typing S in the row command column next to the operation. This takes you to the SELECTING APPLICATION OCCURRENCE AND OPERATION INFORMATION panel. You can reach the panel from the MCP, QCP, or workstation communication panels, from anywhere that a list of operations can be displayed. The panel is shown in EQQSOPSP - Selecting application occurrence and operation information:

The 9 ALL DEPS option shows the dependencies of an operation and helps you determine the impact of late or failed processing.

When selecting a dependency type, you can also customize nesting level and detail for the output list. You can display up to 999 levels of dependencies. The nesting detail level can be:

ALL: Show the higher nesting level.
NONE: Show the first nesting level found when exploring the dependency network.

You can display up to 999 levels of dependencies. By customizing nesting level and detail, you can balance proper response time and usability.

After you specify your selection, the panel shown in EQQSPG1L - All dependencies of an operation (left part) is displayed.
