SYSPARMS command

This section provides an overview of the SYSPARMS command.

Usage

Use the SYSPARMS command to generate System Parameter reports. This command replaces the SYSPRMDD card. You can still use the SYSPRMDD in existing jobs, but not concurrently with the SYSPARMS command.

Usage notes

  • With the SYSPARMS command, you can use the FILE subcommand to store system parameter information in FILE data sets, which can be loaded into the OMEGAMON for Db2 PE Performance Database.
  • You can filter records with the GLOBAL command first. This can minimize your report output and reduce processing time. See GLOBAL command for more information. If you use global filtering and no records meet your filter conditions, the system parameter report is not generated. In this case your JOBSUMDD contains further information. System parameter reports are based on information from IFCID 106, 201, 202, 230, and 256.

Notes:
  • 1 You can specify TRACE only once.
  • 2 You can specify FILE only once.

Subcommands

The subcommands are described in detail, together with their various options, in the following sections.

Sample JCL for requesting SYSPARMS functions

The following is a sample of the JCL required to produce SYSPARMS reports and traces. See DD statements for descriptions of the DD statements.

The OMEGAMON for Db2 PE command language shown in this section is not appropriate in all circumstances. You must modify it to meet your requirements.

Most of the DD statements with a SYSOUT destination do not have to be specified because they are dynamically allocated by OMEGAMON for Db2 PE. See the individual DD statement descriptions for more information.
Note:
  1. There is a performance advantage in omitting DPMOUTDD from your JCL. For more information, see DPMOUTDD statement.
  2. The OMEGAMON for Db2 PE command stream is only processed if EXEC is included as the last command. Otherwise, OMEGAMON for Db2 PE only checks the syntax.
