Using the Display Profile Area to Subset the Parameter List

The CA OPS/MVS Parms panel shows a listing of all CA OPS/MVS parameters. Although you can use the UP and DOWN PF keys to scroll the list, the list is quite long. Instead of viewing the long list, you can use the Display Profile area of the CA OPS/MVS Parms panel to filter out some of the parameters. By doing so, you can view a subset of parameters that includes only those that you want to see.

The following fields are available in the Display Profile area of the CA OPS/MVS Parms panel:

Name

Enter the name of the parameter you want to view. If you are unfamiliar with the exact name of the parameter, you may enter a name mask. As a result, CA OPS/MVS displays a list of all the parameters with names that include the character string you specified with the mask.

Value

Enter a value in this field to view a list of all the parameters with values that include the string you entered.

Type

Enter a parameter type in this field to view a list of the parameters that belong under that type classification. Values for this field are U (Update), I (Initialization only) and D (Display only).

Note: With a few exceptions, display-only parameters are not documented in the Parameter Reference. If you need information about display-only parameters and you cannot find it in the chapter about display-only parameters in the Parameter Reference, the best way to get it is to enter D in the Type field. Once CA OPS/MVS displays the list of display-only parameters for you, use the S line command to view more detailed information.

Group

Enter a parameter group name to view a list of the parameters belonging to that group. If you are unfamiliar with the exact name of the group you want to enter, enter a group mask. As a result, CA OPS/MVS displays a list of all the parameters with group names that include the character string you specified with the mask. Filling in the Group field provides a performance benefit to CA OPS/MVS, because it permits the application to scan only those parameters that belong to the group you specify.

Note: You can use the GROUPS primary command to view a list of CA OPS/MVS group names.

Description

Enter a description or partial description in this field to view a list of all the parameters with descriptions that include the string you entered.

System

Enter the MSF-defined system name of a remote CA OPS/MVS system to view its parameter settings.
