An intuitive utility to help find the CSS path to UI elements on a webpage. These paths are used frequently in a variety of front-end development and QA automation tasks.
One of a set of tools we're offering as a way of saying thank you for being a part of the community.
if you have one of older ones:
when you get the ups unit:
the powerware works well, make sure you get the correct card and cable to connect to the as400, if you have external batteries on the ups then get a copy of the setup software from powerware so the ups knows the batteries are there. The newer ups may do this auto so ask powerware.
once you have done this and are sure how many seconds it should hold up the as400
then test the ups on the as400, do your self a favor and do it when no one is on the system.
plug in the as400 and start it up.
1. Before pulling the power plug, go to the console.
2. Sign on, do a WRKSYSVAL QUPSDLYTIM and record the value here ____________. If you're conducting a test to see how long the iSeries will remain up with UPS power, you need to make sure that the QUPSDLYTIM value exceeds the number of seconds of battery life. However, DON"T set it to *CALC or *NOMAX. If you set the value to *CALC or *NOMAX, your system will most likely go down immediately,use 9999.
3. Do a WRKACTJOB make sure no jobs are active. When you have confirmed that no important jobs are active, continue to the next step.
4. Do a ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED. By ending all jobs, you'll minimize the possibility of problems if the UPS batteries are dead and the system drops like a rock.
5. Do a WRKSBS and press F5 to refresh the display. When only one subsystem remains, you're in a restricted state and may continue with the next step.
6. Pull the UPS power plug from the wall power outlet. You should immediately get a CPF1816 message in message queue QSYSOPR. If you don't get a message in QSYSOPR regarding the loss of utility power, the iSeries will remain up until the batteries in the UPS are drained, and the iSeries will go down hard. I recommend that you document the status indicators on the UPS panel as in the following example:
Elapsed
time
00:00 I pull the power, we get We get CPF1816, System utility power lost at 06012091109.
06:15 drop 1 light
14:26 drop 2nd light, >25% remains
20:30 4th light blinking (Manual says 3 minute warning)
20:40 light is still blinking. I plug in UPS power. We get CPF1817, System utility power restored at 06012093152.
7. The test is complete whenever you plug back in the power or the As/400 shuts down. If you plug back in the power, you need to complete 2 tasks before you're done:
if you recorded the max time the ups will run on battery before getting itself into emergency status, then that is how long it will hold up the as 400.
** WRKSYSVAL QUPSDLYTIM and take option "2". Type the value of the time the batteries were in a useable state and then minus 8 minutes (about) how long it takes for the as400 to go down and press Enter.
** WRKSBS and press Enter. Then type STRSBS xxxxx where "xxxxx" is the name of the subsystem shown on the WRKSBS screen. This will be the equivalent of an IPL. I repeat this will shut down your system, when it comes back all subsystems will be running.
Now in a power outage you will do a safe shut down.
