DISPLAY ID V1R13 When ID=trlename is specified for an active QDIO TRLE, messages IST2331I, IST2332 and one or more IST2333I are issued. For messages IST2331I, IST2332I, and IST2333I, a new QUEUE STATUS column now shows the current status of each read queue. Performance improvements for Enterprise Extender traffic
V1R13 The command is enhanced in the following ways:
  • Displays information about IQDX TRLEs
  • Includes the associated interface name on message IST1717I
HiperSockets optimization for intraensemble data networks
V1R12 When ID=trlename is specified for an active QDIO TRLE, messages IST2331I, IST2332 and one or more IST2333I are issued. Previously message IST1918I was issued. Message IST924I is added to separate data device information. Performance improvements for sysplex distributor connection routing
V1R12 When ID=trlename is specified for an active QDIO TRLE, message IST2337I describing the chpid type and number is issued. z/OS Communications Server in an ensemble
V1R12 When the ID represents a high performance routing (HPR) physical unit name or line of the Enterprise Extender XCA major node (MEDIUM=HPRIP), the display output is enhanced to optionally include the additional messages IST2327I, IST2328I, IST2329I, IST2339I, IST2340I, IST2341I and IST2343I. Enterprise Extender connection health verification
DISPLAY STATS V2R1 When you specify TYPE=CFS,STRNAME=EZBDVIPA, entries can also be displayed for IPv6 addresses. Sysplex-Wide Security Associations for IPv6
V1R13 When TYPE=VTAM is specified, existing message IST1227I displays the VIT size in megabytes. Message IST1227I for the status value 2 displays the VIT size. IST1227I for the status value 163 is retired. Increased CTRACE and VIT capacity
DISPLAY TOPO V1R13 When LIST=SUMMARY is specified and APPN routing trees were cleared, new message IST2360I displays the date and time of the last clear operation. Improved APPN routing resilience
V1R12 When ID=cpname,LIST=ALL is specified, the display output is enhanced to include additional messages. Enhancements to topology database diagnostics
V1R12 When ORIG=orig,DEST=dest is specified, the display output is enhanced to include additional messages. Enhancements to topology database diagnostics
V1R12 When LIST=TDUINFO is specified, the display output is enhanced to include, in addition to information about TDUs received, the following information:
  • Information about corrupted control vectors.
  • Information about TDUs sent.

In addition, when LIST=TDUINFO,SCOPE=ACTIVITY is specified, the display output is enhanced to include information about RSN updates.

Also, when a new FORMAT operand is specified on LIST=TDUINFO, the output is displayed in an expanded format.

Enhancements to topology database diagnostics

DISPLAY VTAMOPTS V2R1 When FORMAT=CURRENT is specified and the current IPADDR start option value is larger than 17 characters, message IST1904I is displayed instead of IST1189I. Enterprise Extender IPv6 address configuration
V2R1 When FORMAT=COMPLETE or FORMAT=MODIFIED is specified, and the IPADDR start option value is currently larger than 17 characters or was larger than 17 characters when VTAM was started, messages IST1905I, IST1906I, IST1907I, and IST1908I are displayed instead of IST1310I. Enterprise Extender IPv6 address configuration
MODIFY TRACE V1R13 A SIZE specification that is not specified in the valid range of 4M - 2048M inclusive is rejected. DSPSIZE is rejected. Increased CTRACE and VIT capacity
MODIFY VTAMOPTS V2R1 When you specify the new PSRETRY IMMED operand value, activation of a TG or a change in the status of a TG triggers immediate path switch processing of HPR pipes. HPR PSRETRY Enhancement
