System commands for Q Replication and Event Publishing

You can use system commands on Linux®, UNIX, Windows, and UNIX System Services (USS) on z/OS® to start, operate, and modify the replication programs.

You can specify parameters in any order as a name=value pair. Parameters and their arguments are not case sensitive. Use double quotation marks ("") if you want to preserve case.

Specifying yes/no (Boolean) parameters without an argument is supported, but not recommended. For example, specifying logreuse is the same as logreuse=y. But to specify no logreuse, you must use logreuse=n.

Invoking commands with a question mark (for example, asnoqcap ?) , displays a help message that shows the command syntax.

Table 1 helps you match common tasks with the system commands.
