DISPLAY PROCESS

Use the MQSC command DISPLAY PROCESS to display the attributes of one or more IBM MQ processes.

For information on how we use MQSC commands, see Performing local administration tasks using MQSC commands.

We can issue this command from sources 2CR. For an explanation of the source symbols, see Sources from which we can issue MQSC commands on z/OS .

Parameter descriptions for DISPLAY PROCESS

We must specify the name of the process we want to display. This can be a specific process name or a generic process name. By using a generic process name, we can display either:

    (generic-process-name)
    The name of the process definition to be displayed (see Rules for naming IBM MQ objects ). A trailing asterisk (*) matches all processes with the specified stem followed by zero or more characters. An asterisk (*) on its own specifies all processes. The names must all be defined to the local queue manager.

    WHERE
    Specify a filter condition to display only those process definitions that satisfy the selection criterion of the filter condition. The filter condition is in three parts: filter-keyword, operator, and filter-value:

      filter-keyword
      Almost any parameter that can be used to display attributes for this DISPLAY command.
      However, on z/OS, we cannot use the CMDSCOPE or QSGDISP parameters as filter keywords.

      operator
      This is used to determine whether a process definition satisfies the filter value on the given filter keyword. The operators are:

        LT
        Less than

        GT
        Greater than

        EQ
        Equal to

        NE
        Not equal to

        LE
        Less than or equal to

        GE
        Greater than or equal to

        LK
        Matches a generic string that you provide as a filter-value

        NL
        Does not match a generic string that you provide as a filter-value

      filter-value
      The value that the attribute value must be tested against using the operator. Depending on the filter-keyword, this can be:

      • An explicit value, that is a valid value for the attribute being tested.

        We can use operators LT, GT, EQ, NE, LE or GE only. However, if the attribute value is one from a possible set of values on a parameter (for example, the value DEF on the APPLTYPE parameter), we can only use EQ or NE.

      • A generic value. This is a character string (such as the character string you supply for the DESCR parameter) with an asterisk at the end, for example ABC*. If the operator is LK, all items where the attribute value begins with the string (ABC in the example) are listed. If the operator is NL, all items where the attribute value does not begin with the string are listed. Only a single trailing wildcard character (asterisk) is permitted.

    ALL
    Specify this to display all the parameters. If this parameter is specified, any parameters that are requested specifically have no effect; all parameters are still displayed. On the following platforms, this is the default if we do not specify a generic name and do not request any specific parameters:

    • AIX
    • IBM i
    • Linux
    • Windows
    • z/OS

    On z/OS this is also the default if you specify a filter condition using the WHERE parameter, but on other platforms only requested attributes are displayed.

    CMDSCOPE
    This parameter applies to z/OS only and specifies how the command runs when the queue manager is a member of a queue sharing group. CMDSCOPE must be blank, or the local queue manager, if QSGDISP is set to GROUP.

      ' '
      The command runs on the queue manager on which it was entered. This is the default value.

      qmgr-name
      The command runs on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue sharing group.

      We can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if we are using a queue sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

      *
      The command runs on the local queue manager and is also passed to every active queue manager in the queue sharing group. The effect of this is the same as entering the command on every queue manager in the queue sharing group.

    We cannot use CMDSCOPE as a filter keyword.

    QSGDISP
    Specifies the disposition of the objects for which information is to be displayed. Values are:

      LIVE
      This is the default value and displays information for objects defined with QSGDISP(QMGR) or QSGDISP(COPY).

      ALL
      Displays information for objects defined with QSGDISP(QMGR) or QSGDISP(COPY).

      If there is a shared queue manager environment, and the command is being executed on the queue manager where it was issued, this option also displays information for objects defined with QSGDISP(GROUP).

      If QSGDISP(LIVE) is specified or defaulted, or if QSGDISP(ALL) is specified in a shared queue manager environment, the command might give duplicated names (with different dispositions).

      COPY
      Display information only for objects defined with QSGDISP(COPY).

      GROUP
      Display information only for objects defined with QSGDISP(GROUP). This is allowed only if there is a shared queue manager environment.

      PRIVATE
      Display information for objects defined with QSGDISP(QMGR) or QSGDISP(COPY). Note that QSGDISP(PRIVATE) displays the same information as QSGDISP(LIVE).

      QMGR
      Display information only for objects defined with QSGDISP(QMGR).

    QSGDISP displays one of the following values:

      QMGR
      The object was defined with QSGDISP(QMGR).

      GROUP
      The object was defined with QSGDISP(GROUP).

      COPY
      The object was defined with QSGDISP(COPY).

    We cannot use QSGDISP as a filter keyword.


Requested parameters

Specify one or more parameters that define the data to be displayed. The parameters can be specified in any order, but do not specify the same parameter more than once.

The default, if no parameters are specified and the ALL parameter is not specified, is that:

  • On Multiplatforms, that is, on platforms other than z/OS, the object names are displayed.
  • On z/OS only, the object names and QSGDISP are displayed.

    ALTDATE
    The date on which the definition was last altered, in the form yyyy-mm-dd

    ALTTIME
    The time at which the definition was last altered, in the form hh.mm.ss

    APPLICID
    Application identifier

    APPLTYPE
    Application type. In addition to the values listed for this parameter in Parameter descriptions for DEFINE PROCESS, the value SYSTEM can be displayed. This indicates that the application type is a queue manager.

    DESCR
    Description

    ENVRDATA
    Environment data

    USERDATA
    User data

See DEFINE PROCESS for more information about individual parameters.
