to BC Z tasks. The SIMs reported to the zSeries and S/390 host are logged in the SYS1.LOGREC
dataset of the host operating system.

SIMs are classified according to the following severities: service, moderate, serious, or acute. The
larger the SIM number, the more important the message.

All SIMs are recorded on the XP7 Storage SVP and shown in the Status window in the RWC.

The following image shows a typical 32 byte SIM from the XP7 Storage. The host console shows
SIMs by reference code (RC) and severity. The six digit RC (composed of bytes 22, 23, and 13)
identifies the possible error and determines the severity. The SIM type (byte 28) indicates the
component which experienced the error.

You can use the SSB1/SSB2 error code combination to determine the cause of the error. The error
codes are shown to the right of the equal symbol (=) in the log. The SSB1 code is the last four
alphanumeric characters to the left of the comma (,). The SSB2 code is the last four alphanumeric
characters to the right of the comma (,).
