Commands

 

Programmable command format (PCF) support

WebSphere MQ for z/OS, V6.0 now supports the use of PCF commands. The commands must be put to the SYSTEM.COMMAND.INPUT queue, and must have a PCF message type of MQCFT_COMMAND_XR and a format of MQCFT_ADMIN.

For details of the PCF commands, see the Programmable Commands Format and Administration Interface guide.

 

Command tracking notification

To provide additional support during problem diagnosis, a new event queue SYSTEM.ADMIN.COMMAND.EVENT has been implemented, together with a new queue manager attribute that controls the new queue. Messages are automatically written to the new queue whenever commands are issued.

 

Filtering on the DISPLAY commands

A new keyword, WHERE, is provided for the Script (MQSC) DISPLAY commands, and the PCF Display commands. This allows you to filter the information displayed by one of the attributes of objects.

For information about using the new keyword with the Script (MQSC) DISPLAY commands, see the WebSphere MQ Script (MQSC) Command Reference.

For information about using the new keyword with the PCF Display commands, see the Programmable Commands and Administration Interface book.
