Reading and Interpreting S-Series System Log Files

You can use the FUP COPY command to view the ZZUSERS2 file.
If the system is running G06.02 RVU or later, or if SPR T7945AAE is
installed, you do not have to stop the $ZTSM process. You can copy the
ZZUSERS file by using the SHARE option of the FUP COPY command:
>FUP/OUT TEMP/COPY $SYSTEM.ZSERVICE.ZZUSERS,,SHARE
>FUP COPY TEMP

OSM\bin\startsys.log and TSM\bin\startsys.log
Detailed low-level system startup status messages are generated from the
time you open the System Startup dialog box and appear in the Start System
Status window. The log file is overwritten when a new startup session is
initiated. This log file is useful for troubleshooting system startup problems.
For OSM, these messages are logged to the file C:\OSM\bin\startsys.log.
For TSM, these messages are logged to the file C:\TSM\bin\startsys.log.
Note: If you experience problems during the system startup process, you
should create a copy of the startsys.log file before initiating another system
startup.
