OPSPARM Format—Display Parameters

To display parameters, use this format for the OPSPARM command:

OPSPARM
{SHOW(name|GROUPS|ALL)}
[INFO|NAMES|CLIST]
[SYSTEM(msfids|ALL|EXT)]
[SYSWAIT(seconds)]
SHOW

The SHOW keyword, used when you display parameter values, specifies which parameters to display.

Specify one of these options:

name

Displays the value of the named parameter or the values of all parameters in the named group.

GROUPS

Displays a list of the parameter groups.

ALL

Displays all parameter values.

The following examples use the SHOW keyword.

INFO

(Optional) Use the INFO keyword with the SHOW keyword to display the possible values the parameter can have. For example, to see all possible values of the ECFSECURITY parameter, issue this command:

OPSPARM SHOW(ECFSECURITY) INFO
NAMES

(Optional) Use the NAMES keyword with the SHOW keyword to display the names and modifiability indicators of individual parameters. You cannot use NAMES with the SHOW(GROUPS) keyword.

For example, to see the names of the parameters in the PRODACTIVITY group, issue this command:

OPSPARM SHOW(PRODACTIVITY) NAMES
CLIST

(Optional) Creates CLIST variables based on CA OPS/MVS parameters. These variables have the same names and corresponding values as the parameters.

The CLIST keyword is especially useful for obtaining the values of fields such as SYSID, which you can use in CLISTs for conditional processing based on the system where the CLIST runs.

SYSTEM(Used With SHOW)

(Optional) For more information on the SYSTEM keyword, see Specifying an MSF System ID on a POI Command Processor in this chapter.

Note: If more than one system is specified or implied, and the local system is one of the systems that will receive the request, then CA OPS/MVS returns only the value on the local system.

In the following example, the SYSTEM keyword in this command indicates that SYSA is the name of the system on which the command is to execute and from which the response is to be returned:

OPSPARM SHOW(OCWAIT) SYSTEM(SYSA)
SYSWAIT

(Optional) Specifies the number of seconds CA OPS/MVS waits for a response from a remote system. You can specify a value from 1 to 300.

Default: MSFSYSWAIT
