Display Information about the File Server

To display information about the file server, issue a DISPLAY command. Specify one or more of these parameters when using the TASK(FILESERVER) parameter:

DISPLAY Parameter

What It Does

ALL

Displays all available information for the file server.

BUFFERPOOL

Displays information about LSR buffer pools for files that CA-L-Serv is managing. (See message LDM0552I.)

DATABASE

Displays information about each file that CA-L-Serv is managing, including options set through the ADDFILE command and the file status. (See message LDM0522I). By default, the display includes all managed files. To change the display, issue the command as follows:

  • To display only one file, specify its name on the DDNAME parameter.
  • To display only one file group, specify a group ID on the GROUP parameter.
  • To display cumulative information and then reset the display, specify RESET.

OPTIONS

Displays file server values that you can change while the server is running. These values include data buffer size, subsystem name for the communications server, maximum write buffer interval, and server type. (See message LDM0526I).

STATISTICS

Displays statistics about I/O activity for VSAM files. (See message LDM0546I.) By default, CA-L-Serv displays a line for each file. Information is cumulative as of the last time the statistics display was reset. To change the display, issue the command as follows:

  • To limit the display to a particular file, specify its name on the DDNAME parameter.
  • To display cumulative statistics and then reset the display, specify RESET.
  • To display an additional line that shows average service times, specify =SERVICE.

SYSTEMS

Displays a list of systems where the file server is running. For each system, the display includes statistics about send and receive requests, what type of server is running, and how many times CA-L-Serv split and reassembled data to fit its data buffers. (See message LDM0555I.)

For example, to display the operating values of the file server, issue the following command:
