Control the Display of Cross-System Data

The following summarizes the SET keywords used to control the display of cross-system data. These keywords only apply to commands that are defined as cross-system data capable. For a list of commands that have this attribute, issue the XSCMDS command.

XSData

Controls whether the cross-system data is gathered and displayed. The values are YES and NO.

Default: NO

XSGroup

Controls which system gathers and displays the cross-system data. Values are the keywords:

• ALL
• NONE
• Group name (as defined by the GROUPS PARMLIB member or the GROUPS command) or a specific system name or alias

The group must be defined as type XSSYSTEM and the members are the names of the systems from which data is displayed. The group member names cannot be aliases.

Default: ALL

Note: The XSGROUP NONE is not the same as XSDATA NO. With XSGROUP NONE and XSDATA YES, the screen displays the xsystem-only fields but does not display data from any remote systems.

XSLimit

Sets a limit on the number of command data records that are returned from a remote system. The value must be a number from 0 to 99999 or the keyword NONE. A value of 0, or the equivalent NONE keyword means that there is no limit on the number of records returned from a remote system.

Default: NONE (or 0)

XSMsglvl

Controls the display of data lines for systems from which data could not be obtained. The message data line displays the system name and message in a field named XSMsg.

The values are NONE, INFO, WARN, and ERROR.

Default: ERROR

XSRemdup

Controls the removal of duplicate systems from any hardware, sysplex, or node base cross-system data. The values are:

NO

No duplicate systems are removed from any hardware, sysplex, or node base cross-system data.

AUTO

Duplicate systems are automatically removed from any hardware, sysplex, or node base cross-system data. Only the first system (taken in alphabetical order) within like-named hardware, sysplex, or node (JES MAS) configurations are displayed.

PREF

Duplicate systems are removed using a system preference order defined by a group name the same as the hardware, sysplex, or node configuration with a group type of XSHDWR, XSPLEX or XSNODE. The order of the group members (system names) in the group defines the preferred order. The first available system, if any, is used. If no matching system names are found, then the systems are considered in alphabetical order (the same as AUTO).

Default: NO

The AUTO and PREF options only apply when the XSGROUP name is ALL and only when cross-system data type is HARDWARE, SYSPLEX, or NODE. In all other cases, AUTO and PREF are ignored.

Duplicate data resulting from more than one cross-system data server active on a system is automatically removed.

XSStatusline

Controls the display of the xsystem status line in the screen info line area. The values are:

YES

Always display the xsystem status line.

NO

Never display the xsystem status line.

COND

Only display the xsystem status line when XSDATA is YES.

Default: NO
