(ZOS) z/OS display command

Use either the WebSphere Application Server administrative console or the z/OS MVS™ console to accomplish many operations tasks related to WAS for z/OS servers. Entering the z/OS display or modify commands through the MVS console can provide information or perform tasks that are useful for diagnosing problems.

The purpose of the DISPLAY command is to display information about the operating system, the jobs and application programs running, the processor, devices that are online and offline, central and expanded storage, workload management service policy and mode status, and the time of day.

For example, we could use the command

D WLM,APPLENV=*

to verify that WLM is defined and available for the applications.

To display the dynamic WLM application environment, use the command:

D WLM,DYNAPPL=*

We can check the WLM environment for a specific application using the following command:

D WLM,APPLENV=appname

These commands will return information similar to the following:

RESPONSE=SC42
IWM029I 13.09.47 WLM DISPLAY 075
APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT NAME STATE STATE DATA
appname AVAILABLE
ATTRIBUTES:PROC=procname SUBSYSTEM TYPE:CB
