QUERY STATUS (Query system parameters)
Use the QUERY STATUS command to display information about system parameters.
Use this command for the following reasons:
- To display the service level of the server
- To display information about the general server parameters, such as those defined by the SET commands
- To request information about client sessions, such as the availability of the server, password authentication, accounting settings, or the retention period for the information that is retained in the activity log
- To display information about the central scheduler, such as the central scheduling mode of the server
- To display the maximum number of repeated attempts that are allowed after a failed attempt to run a scheduled command
- To display whether subfiles can be backed up to this server, as indicated by the SET SUBFILE command
- To display information about a target replication server
- To display licensing information
Tip: To display information about a target replication
server, you must issue the command from the target replication server.
Privilege class
Any administrator can issue this command.
