IVP1 is complete

If you are planning to run CICSPlex SM on multiple MVS™ images, you should now run IVP2. However, before you begin IVP2, you must stop EYUCAS1A, EYUCMS1A, and EYUMAS1A on system A. If you do not stop these system A components, you will have difficulty running IVP2.

If you are using a version of ISPF prior to Version 3 Release 1, all help information is provided in full-screen panels.
