Allow SDSF to do a SETSYS to any LPAR in any SYSPLEX in your enterprise for commands and displays.

A User can be Logged on to one SYSTEM and then do a SETSYS to another LPAR in a different or same SYSPLEX and have full SDSF

capability with full user access. This would be very useful and beneficial in enabling the user to get to any LPAR rapidly without Logging on 

to that LPAR.   This helps when your having systems issues and no one can sign on, SDSF will at least get you to that system to poke around for problem determination. This also works when you need just quick z/OS related info for that particular LPAR.

Thanks!

    SDSF does have the SYSNAME command. We believe that this provides the requested functionality, at least within a sysplex. Can you confirm that this command satisfies the need, or if you think that it does not satisfy the need, provide more information?
