Miscellaneous system information minor commands
Several miscellaneous system information minor commands are available.
- ALIBnn
- Displays the current list of APF-authorized libraries.
An argument of nn suppresses the first nn lines of output.
The ALInnn command suppresses the first nnn lines of output.
- ASVT
- Displays status of Address Space Vector Table slots.Status includes the following information:
- total number of slots

Each line of output contains one data set name found in the linklist concatenation.
This command is designed to work on an unmodified IBM® BLDL system; the results are unpredictable if you have another vendor product or usermod that alters the way BLDL is used.
- LSFR
- Displays number of real frames allocated to logically swapped address spaces.
- LSNW
- Displays number of logically swapped address spaces due to waits that are not terminal waits.
- LSTW
- Displays number of logically swapped address spaces due to terminal input or output waits.
- PPT
- Displays a list of programs in the Program Properties Table along
with their special attributes.
See the IBM MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference for a description of the attributes.
- RMSU
- Displays 4-Hour Rolling Average Millions of Service Units per
hour (MSU) information.
- Format:
[X]RMSU[DB]- <blank>
- Unmodified, displays summary 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU statistics.
- X
- Prefixed by an X, displays detailed 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU statistics.
- DB
- Suffixed by DB, displays hexadecimal and character dump of the RMSU data collection work area.
The values displayed by this command depend on platform support for the services that retrieve the data and whether License Manager is being used to define LPAR Capacity limits. RMSU displays the following information:- The 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU.
- If the LPAR has a defined capacity set:
- The percentage of time during the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU period when the LPAR was capped by WLM.
- The percentage of that time the LPAR was uncapped.
- The LPAR capacity in MSUs per Hour.
- The percentage of LPAR Capacity (or Defined LPAR Capacity) that the 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU value represents.
- If the LPAR is defined as a member of an LPAR Capacity Group:
- The LPAR Group Name.
- The LPAR Group Capacity in MSUs per Hour.
- The percentage of the LPAR Group Capacity that the LPAR 4-Hour Rolling Average MSU value represents.
- Whether or not the capacity limit is based on the LPAR’s entitlement calculated as the number of standard CPs configured to the LPAR (including reserved CPs) multiplied by the MSUs/CP. If so a parenthesized “(Entitled)” is displayed. Alternatively, if a Defined Capacity is specified for the LPAR, a parenthesized literal “(Defined)” is displayed.
- The average unused LPAR Group service units available over the
last 4 hours, in millions of service units (MSUs).
This value is calculated using the service consumption of all members of the LPAR Group the current LPAR is a member of. If this value is negative, the LPAR Group members are currently subject to LPAR Group capping. The value is displayed in green if it represents more than 10% of the LPAR Group Capacity Limit, yellow if between 0.01 and 10%, and red at 0% or negative.
- The current LPAR Capacity Limit enforced by the LPAR Group, in
millions of service units per hour (MSUs). This limit is affected by several factors:
- The value is only displayed if the LPAR is in an LPAR Group.
- If an LPAR Defined Capacity Limit is specified this value will never exceed that limit. If LPAR Group Capping is in effect, the value is calculated every 10 seconds and ranges from the LPAR Group entitlement minimum to a maximum of the LPAR Defined Capacity Limit.
- If no LPAR Defined Capacity is specified:
- If the LPAR Group is not currently being capped, the value will be equal to the LPAR Group Capacity.
- If LPAR Group Capping is in effect, the value is calculated every 10 seconds and ranges from the LPAR Group entitlement minimum to a maximum of the LPAR Group Capacity Limit.
- If Group Capping is in effect, this value is displayed in red.

- The MSUs per hour consumed by the LPAR during the time period while uncapped.
- The percentage of the LPAR capacity MSUs per hour consumed by the LPAR while uncapped.
- The percentage of the time period the LPAR was capped by WLM soft-capping.
- The MSUs per hour consumed by the LPAR during the time period while capped by WLM soft-capping.
- The percentage of the LPAR capacity consumed by the LPAR while capped by WLM soft-capping.
- Unused LPAR Group service units, in millions of service units per hour, over the time period the display row represents. If the value is negative, the LPAR Group members were subject to LPAR Group capping during the time period. The value is displayed in green if the value is more than 10% of the LPAR Group Capacity Limit; in yellow if between 0.01 and 10%; and red at 0% or negative (LPAR Group Capping is in effect).
