DISPEVT

Purpose

The DISPEVT command displays relationships between an event and the related resources. DISPEVT shows all the resources that use the event.

Syntax

Parameters

event

Specifies the name of the event.

TARGET

For information on the TARGET parameter, see TARGET Parameter. Note that if you specify a sysplex name as a target, this is translated to the next system that is available in the sysplex and the DISPEVT command is processed there.

OUTMODE

For information on the OUTMODE parameter, see OUTMODE Parameter.

WAIT

Specifies the number of seconds to wait before reporting that a timeout occurred if the automation manager does not provide the requested data. The maximum time interval is 999 seconds.

If omitted, the time interval is 30 seconds.

Restrictions and Limitations

The DISPEVT command can only be used when SA z/OS® is initialized.

Usage

The DISPEVT command operates sysplexwide. For an overview see Overview of Commands that Operate Sysplexwide.

If you specify OUTMODE=LINE, specifying event becomes mandatory.
