Using DISPINFO to Display Detailed Information

To see detailed information on a subsystem from the automation agent point of view, use the DISPINFO command. This will only work on one subsystem at a time. If the subsystem you specify happens to be on more than one system within the sysplex, you will be prompted to select the one you would like to see information about.

The DISPINFO command displays information about the selected resource including many of the definitions that have been made to SA z/OS about the subsystem. You can use PF4 to toggle to the INGINFO command display for the selected resource, which shows the automation manager view of it.

You can use PF8 to scroll forward through the pages of information, and PF7 to scroll back.

Use PF8 until you reach a display line like the following that indicates the end of the display:

  *** Data produced at 17:58:17 on 07/26/05.

If you attempt to scroll further down than the last page, an error message is displayed:

  AOF169I THE LAST LINE IS ALREADY DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN

Note: If you have defined the exit routine AOFEXC03, the DISPINFO panel also shows user supplied information about the subsystem. Refer to IBM Z® System Automation Customizing and Programming for more information about AOFEXC03.

If you use DISPINFO for a CICS-controlled or IMS-controlled resource, PF10 is active and with this you can view additional CICS® or IMS related information as if you issued the INGCICS REQ=INFO or INGIMS REQ=INFO commands.

DISPINFO shows further information for resources that have been defined with INGVTAM startup and shutdown commands. It displays the specific APPLID and optionally the ACB (if it is different from the APPLID) that the resource is using. It also shows the generic APPLID and USERVAR if any have been defined. Finally a list of major nodes that have been registered as being used by the resource is displayed.
