Shared TS queue server commands

Commands can be issued to control a queue server using the MVS™ MODIFY (F) command specifying the job or started task name of the server region.

The general form of a queue server command is as follows:

       F server,cmd parameter,parameter...   comments

The MVS STOP command is equivalent to issuing the server command STOP using the MVS MODIFY command.

The queue server supports the following commands:

SET keyword=value: changes one or more server parameter values. This applies to all parameters other than those indicated as being for initialization only. The command can be abbreviated to T, as for the MVS SET command.
DISPLAY keyword: displays one or more parameter values, or statistics summary information, on the console. The valid parameter keywords for DISPLAY and PRINT are described later in this section. The command can be abbreviated to D, as for the MVS DISPLAY command.
PRINT keyword: produces the same output as DISPLAY but only on the print file.
STOP: terminates the server, waiting for any active connections to terminate first, and preventing any new connections.
The command can be abbreviated to P, as for the MVS STOP command.
CANCEL {RESTART={NO|YES}}: Terminate the server immediately. You can specify whether automatic restart should be requested.
For information about CANCEL RESTART see The CANCEL command options.

The server also responds to XES events such as an operator SETXCF command to alter the structure size. If the server can no longer access the coupling facility, it automatically issues a server CANCEL command to close itself down immediately.
