Displaying sysplex variables

The BBI control command .DISPLAY VARIABLES shows all SHARED or sysplex variables according to the naming convention.

Some examples follow.

Example 1: Display all SHARED variables.

.D V * SHARED

Example 2: Display all sysplex variables.

.D V AOSPLX_*

Example 3: Display some sysplex variables.

.D V AOSPLX_CICS+
.D V AOSPLX_IMS*

The .D V command will also show some statistics for sysplex variables such as the number of existing variables, the total number of possible variables, and so on.

The following example shows additional output lines that include information about sysplex variables.

Warning

Note

The variable application can slow down noticeably when a large coupling facility structure (one that is multiple megabytes) is allocated because the application has to read all existing sysplex variables each time you press Enter.

The page up (PF7) and page down (PF8) operations do not re-read sysplex variables, rather they only scroll up and down the existing display without refreshing the data.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
