procname
The name of the member in a procedure library that was used to start the server. The default name used during the host system configuration is RSED.
DISPLAY CLIENT[{,LOGON | ,ID | ,USER}]
Display the active clients in a single BPXM023I message. The result layout depends on the command option that was used. You can change the sorting order with the optional command arguments.
  • No command option: Clients are grouped by the thread pool process that serves them. 
    ProcessId(<processid>) ASId(<asid>) JobName(<jobname>) 
Clients(<local>/<total>) Order(<startup order>)
<clientid><userid><connected since>
  • LOGON command option: Clients are ordered by logon time. 
    LOGON TIME------------------ ID----- USERID--
<connected since>         <clientid> <userid>
  • ID command option: Clients are ordered by client ID. Each session has a unique client ID, even if the related user ID is the same.
    ID----- USERID-- LOGON TIME------------------
<clientid> <userid> <connected since>
  • USER command option: Clients are ordered by user ID.
    USERID-- ID----- LOGON TIME------------------
<userid> <clientid> <connected since>
DISPLAY OWNER,DATASET={dataset | dataset(member)}[,ALL]
  • Use the command without the ALL command option to display the data set enqueue owner in a single BPXM023I message. 
    FEK217I <dataset[(member)]> is locked by <userid>
FEK218I <dataset[(member)]> is not locked 
FEK219E Failed to determine lock owner for <dataset[(member)]>
    • The server also reports the locks held by other products, such as ISPF.
    • The D GRS,RES=(*,dataset) operator command cannot display which z/OS® Explorer user is the actual enqueue holder, but it can display the thread pool in which the user is active.
  • Use the command with the ALL command option to display the detailed data set enqueue information in table format in a single BPXM023I message. Member enqueue information is included for a partitioned data set.

    • This option requires that the Extended Lock Tracker feature is enabled.
    • The server also reports the locks held by other products, such as ISPF, but only if those locks are registered in the Extended Lock Tracker. For example, after a client attempted to obtain an enqueue on the member and failed due to the enqueue held by ISPF.
DISPLAY PROCESS[{,CLEANUP | ,CPU [,PID=pid] [,SORT={NONE | TIME | USERID}] | ,DETAIL}]
Display the RSE thread pool processes in one or more BPXM023I messages. There can be multiple processes, which are used for load balancing the connected users. 
ProcessId(<processid>) Memory Usage(<java heap usage>%)
  Clients(<number of clients>) Order(<startup order>) <error status>
Note:
  • <processid> can be used in process-specific z/OS UNIX operator commands.
  • Each process has its own Java™ heap, whose size can be set in rse.env. The reported Java heap usage includes storage that is released by z/OS Explorer, but which is not yet freed by the Java garbage collection process.
  • <startup order> is a sequential number that indicates the order that the thread pools were started. The number corresponds to the number used in the filename of the stderr.*.log and stdout.*.log files.
In normal situations, <error status> is blank. Table 1 documents the possible non-blank values for <error status>.
Table 1. Thread pool error status. This table lists the thread pool error status and their descriptions.
Status Description
*severe error* The thread pool process encountered an unrecoverable error and halted operations. The other status fields show the last known values. To remove this entry from the table, use the CLEANUP option of the DISPLAY PROCESS modify command.
*killed process* The thread pool process was killed by Java, z/OS UNIX or an operator command. The other status fields show the last known values. To remove this entry from the table, use the CLEANUP option of the DISPLAY PROCESS modify command.
*timeout* The thread pool process did not respond in a timely manner to RSE daemon during a client connect request. The other status fields show the current values. The thread pool is excluded for future client connect requests. The *timeout* status is reset when a client served by this thread pool logs off.
*rejectLogon* The thread pool temporarily will not accept logon requests due to a heavy workload. Note that the logon request will be honored by another thread pool. Once the resource intensive task - for example, uploading a large file to a client - has completed, the *rejectLogon* status is reset.

More information is provided when the DETAIL option of the DISPLAY PROCESS modify command is used:

The ASId field is the address space ID, in hexadecimal notation. The process limits table shows the current resource usage, the high-water mark for the resource usage, and the resource limit. Due to other limiting factors, the defined limit might never be reached. The region limits table shows the current private storage usage below the 16MB line, between the 16 MB line and the 2GB bar, and above the 2GB bar. The limits column shows a calculated limited, with the absolute number mentioned in braces. If storage usage is capped, then this will also be mentioned.

The CPU option of the DISPLAY PROCESS modify command shows the accumulated CPU usage, in milliseconds, of each thread in a thread pool. Every thread pool has a BPXM023I message. By default, all thread pools report the CPU usage, but you can limit the scope to a single thread pool by specifying PID=pid on the operator command, where pid is the process ID of the target thread pool. To sort the threads of each thread pool, specify SORT=field on the operator command. To sort alphabetically by user ID, replace field with USERID. To sort descending by accumulated CPU time, replace field with TIME.

SEND 'message'[,USER={userid | (userid,userid,…)}]
Send a message to one, some, or all z/OS Explorer users. By default the message is sent to all users. Users that are currently active receive the message immediately, others receive it on the next logon.
SEND 'message'[,PID={processid | (processid,processid,…)}]
Send a message to all users in one, some, or all thread pools. By default the message is sent to all thread pools. Thread pools are identified by their process ID.
SEND CLEARALL
Clear the buffer holding all messages to be delivered to users logging on.
CANCEL ID=clientid
Cancel a client connection based on the client ID, which is shown in the DISPLAY CLIENT modify command. Each session has a unique client ID, even if the related user ID is the same.

When a client connection is cancelled, the host system threads go through normal termination processing to clean up resources used by them. This action implies that some threads can take a few minutes before they end; for example, because they are waiting on the keep-alive mechanism to time out.

CANCEL USER=userid
Cancel a client connection based on the client's user ID, which is shown in the DISPLAY CLIENT modify command.

When a client connection is cancelled, the host system threads go through normal termination processing to clean up resources used by them. This action implies that some threads can take a few minutes before they end; for example, because they are waiting on the keep-alive mechanism to time out.

Note:
  • This command requires that the Extended Lock Tracker feature is enabled.
  • The command removes a maximum of 50 records on each call.
  • The command removes the matched expired records in batch and requires exclusive access of the VSAM file. Therefore, it should be run during not too busy hours to avoid holding up the on-going tracking activities of the tracker.

LOGS [USER={userid | (userid,userid,…)},] [AUDIT,][NOSERVER,][RANGE=hours,][OWNER=userid,]
Collect z/OS Explorer host logs and setup information. The collected data is placed in a z/OS UNIX file, $TMPDIR/feklogs%sysname.%jobname, where $TMPDIR is the value of the TMPDIR directive in rse.env (default /tmp), %sysname is your z/OS system name and %jobname is the name of the RSED started task. Results are shown in a single FEK201I console message.
FEK220I Host logs are written onto /tmp/feklogs.CDFMVS08.RSED.log
By default, only the server logs are collected. The following command options allow you to collect different logs.
Table 2. Command options. This table lists the options of the command that collects host logs and setup information.
Option Description
USER Collect log files for the specified user ID's
AUDIT Collect audit logs
NOSERVER Do not collect server logs

By default, all available log files are collected. The RANGE command option allows you to limit this selection to those log files that were updated in the last given number of hours.

z/OS Explorer will query your security product for access permits to FEK.CMD.LOGS.** profiles to determine if the requestor is allowed to collect the specified logs. By default, the requestor is the RSED started task user ID, unless the OWNER option is specified. Only the requestor has access to the file holding the collected data.

DEBUG DAEMON,STORAGE
Request an overview of current real storage usage for RSE daemon. Results are shown in a BPXM023I message. See the description of DEBUG PROCESS,STORAGE for a sample output.
DEBUG PROCESS,STORAGE [,PID=pid]
Request an overview of current real storage usage for a thread pool. Every thread pool has a BPXM023I message showing the results. By default, all thread pools report the storage usage, but you can limit the scope to a single thread pool by specifying PID=pid on the operator command, where pid is the process ID of the target thread pool. The storage usage report shows various storage-related fields with sizes in bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes. If storage usage is capped, then this will also be mentioned. A summarized version of this data is included in the output of the DISPLAY PROCESS,DETAIL operator command.

IVP DAEMON,userid
Log user ID userid on to RSE daemon to do a connection test. Results are shown with one or more FEK900I console messages. The return code is shown with console message FEK901I.
Note:
  • When the test is successful, the function displays a success message.
  • The function is similar to what the fekfivpd IVP (Installation Verification Program) does.
  • RSE daemon generates a PassTicket which is used as password for the IVP, so there is no Write To Operator with Reply (WTOR) requesting a password.
IVP ISPF,userid[,PROC=proc,Acct=acct,GRP=group,SIZE=size]
Test Legacy ISPF Gateway or Interactive ISPF Gateway with user ID userid. Interactive ISPF Gateway requires that you specify a TSO logon procdure (proc), TSO account number (acct), security group (group) and TSO region size (size). Results are shown with one or more FEK900I console messages. The return code is shown with console message FEK901I.
Note:
  • When the test is successful, the function displays a success message.
  • The function is similar to what the fekfivpi IVP (Installation Verification Program) does.
  • RSE daemon generates a PassTicket which is used as password for the IVP, so there is no Write To Operator with Reply (WTOR) requesting a password.
IVP PASSTICKET,userid
Test the reusability of a PassTicket generated for user ID userid. Results are shown with one or more FEK900I console messages. The return code is shown with console message FEK901I.
Note:
  • When the test is successful, the function displays a success message.
  • When using RACF® as security product, reusable PassTickets require the “NO REPLAY PROTECTION” keyword in the security definitions.
  • There is no equivalent IVP (Installation Verification Program) for this test.
  • RSE daemon generates a PassTicket which is used as password for the IVP, so there is no Write To Operator with Reply (WTOR) requesting a password.
