DISPLAY GROUP

The DISPLAY GROUP command displays information about groups of objects connected to the BMC AMI Utilities Subsystem started task, also known as CDBSS. The DISPLAY commands are operator commands. The output will be returned to the issuing console.

The following parameters are optional. If you do not specify a parameter, CDBSS writes the output to messages NGTC166 and NGTC167. 

Parameter

Description

groupID

The number of the group to display. If the group does not exist, no output is displayed.

A group consists of a set of objects that have a single consistency point. When a session is established for a new set of objects, the CDBSS creates a group and assigns a sequential number (a group number or group ID) to it. You can obtain this number from the output of the DISPLAY DSN or DISPLAY THREAD commands.

displayType

The type of information to display.

  • T displays the threads for this group. The output resembles that of the DISPLAY THREAD command and is written to messages NGTC172 and NGTC173.

  • E displays the elements or data sets for this group. The display includes logical and physical characteristics of the data sets. CDBSS writes the output to messages NGTC169, NGTC170 and NGTC171.

    To limit the display to a subset of data sets, specify the dataSetName parameter.

dataSetName

Limits the display to data sets whose name begins with this value.

The data set or sets for which you want to display information

Use this parameter to limit the display to a subset of data sets (only data sets whose names begin with this value).
