Patent ID: 8122203

Claim:
A method for implementing Serviceability Level Indicator Processing (SLIPs) for storage alterations in a computer system, comprising: enabling, by a processor, an initialization SLIP to monitor a storage address, the storage address comprising current storage information; monitoring, by the initialization SLIP, the storage address to determine if a predetermined condition associated with the current storage condition has been satisfied; continuing to monitor the storage address if the predetermined condition has not been satisfied; disabling the initialization SLIP and enabling a storage alteration SLIP if the predetermined condition has been met; monitoring, by the alteration SLIP, the storage address to determine if data in the storage address is released; determining if a pre-specified job name associated with the storage alteration SLIP has been terminated if the data in the storage address has not been released; continuing to monitor the storage address to determine if the data in the storage address is released if the pre-specified job name associated with the storage alteration SLIP has not been terminated; and upon determining that one of the data in the storage address is released and the pre-specified job name associated with the storage alteration SLIP has been terminated, disabling, by the processor, the storage alteration SLIP and automatically re-enabling the initialization SLIP with new storage information related to the storage address.
