S6BBRHDW analyzes the machine where you run it, reporting on the availability of the hardware instructions required to run TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS.
You should run this utility on all mainframe systems where you plan to run TIBCO Object Service Broker. You do this to find out if there are restrictions to running TIBCO Object Service Broker on those systems.
S6BBRHDW issues various machine code instructions and reports that the instruction ran and whether the corresponding facility is installed. In some cases, such as for the STSI instruction, the machine could run the instruction and not perform all the function when doing so. In this case, the instruction is reported with asterisks (***) under the INSTALLED column, with an explanation at the end of the report stating that the full function is not available.
If S6BBRHDW is not APF authorized, some instructions, such as STSI, cannot be tested because the instruction is privileged. In this case, the literal “N/A” appears under the INSTALLED heading. To get the full report, APF-authorize the utility and rerun the report.
The following shows the report that comes out of this utility. The specific information contained on your report can vary depending on the capabilities of your machine, the operating system, and the authorization environment available at runtime:
