Keyword and parameter descriptions for DISPLAY SVSTATUS

You must specify a service for which you want to display status information. We can specify a service by using either a specific service name or a generic service name. By using a generic service name, we can display either:

  • Status information for all service definitions, by using a single asterisk (*), or
  • Status information for one or more services that match the specified name.

    (generic-service-name)
    The name of the service definition for which status information is to be displayed. A single asterisk (*) specifies that information for all connection identifiers is to be displayed. A character string with an asterisk at the end matches all services with the string followed by zero or more characters.

    WHERE
    Specify a filter condition to display status information for those services that satisfy the selection criterion of the filter condition. The filter condition is in three parts: filter-keyword, operator, and filter-value:

      filter-keyword
      Any parameter that can be used to display attributes for this DISPLAY command.
      operator
      This is used to determine whether a service 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

      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 MANUAL on the CONTROL parameter), we can only use EQ or NE.

      • A generic value. This is a character string. 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.

        We cannot use a generic filter-value for parameters with numeric values or with one of a set of values.

    ALL
    Display all the status information for each specified service. This is the default if we do not specify a generic name, and do not request any specific parameters.
