Using DISPLAY commands

We can use the WebSphere MQ MQSC DISPLAY or PCF Inquire commands to obtain information about the current state of WebSphere MQ. They provide information on the status of the command server, process definitions, queues, the queue manager, and so on. These commands are:

MQSC command	PCF command
DISPLAY ARCHIVE	Inquire Archive
DISPLAY AUTHINFO	Inquire Authentication Information Object
DISPLAY CFSTATUS	Inquire CF Structure Status
DISPLAY CFSTRUCT	Inquire CF Structure
DISPLAY CHANNEL	Inquire Channel
DISPLAY CHINIT	Inquire Channel Initiator
DISPLAY CHSTATUS	Inquire Channel Status
DISPLAY CMDSERV
DISPLAY CLUSQMGR	Inquire Cluster Queue Manager
DISPLAY CONN	Inquire Connection
DISPLAY GROUP	Inquire Group
DISPLAY LOG	Inquire Log
DISPLAY PROCESS	Inquire Process
DISPLAY QMGR	Inquire Queue Manager
DISPLAY QSTATUS	Inquire Queue Status
DISPLAY QUEUE	Inquire Queue
DISPLAY SECURITY	Inquire Security
DISPLAY STGCLASS	Inquire Storage Class
DISPLAY SYSTEM	Inquire System
DISPLAY TRACE
DISPLAY USAGE	Inquire Usage

For the detailed syntax of each command, see WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference or WebSphere MQ Programmable Command Formats and Administration Interface manual. All of the functions of these commands (except DISPLAY CMDSERV and DISPLAY TRACE) are also available through the operations and control panels.

These commands provide a snapshot of the system only at the moment the command was processed. If you want to examine trends in the system, start a WebSphere MQ trace and analyze the results over a period of time.
