Parameter descriptions for DISPLAY LOG

CMDSCOPE
This parameter specifies how the command runs when the queue manager is a member of a queue sharing group.
CMDSCOPE cannot be used for commands issued from the first initialization input data set CSQINP1.
' '
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.

You can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you 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.
