Command interface

The persistent data store uses a command interface to perform many of the tasks required for maintaining the data sets used for historical data. Most of these commands can be invoked externally through a command interface supported in the Engine environment.

Important: The content in this section was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated.

These maintenance commands can be executed by using the standard z/OS® MODIFY interface with the following format:

F stcname,KPDCMD command arguments

where

stcname
Is the started task name of address space where the persistent data store is running.
command
