How to Work with INGPLEX
SA z/OS provides the INGPLEX command to monitor and control the couple data sets and coupling facilities of your sysplex.
If you enter INGPLEX in the command line without any parameters, the INGPLEX Selection Panel is displayed. To launch other command dialogs that show sysplex-related information, specify the number or the function and press Enter.
The subcommands support the following functions:
