DISPLAY DATABASE,SUBSYS Command—Display Database Subsytem Information

Use the DISPLAY DATABASE,SUBSYS command to display information about the BES database. The BES database is used to store the following:

• Cryptographic key management information.
• Cryptographic keys (optional).
• Encryption and decryption statistics for every subsystem sharing a database. This includes detailed information about the last 1000 files that were either encrypted or decrypted by each subsystem.

The command displays information about the following:

• Subsystems sharing the database.
• Subsystems that have shared the database.
• Remote subsystems with keys mirrored via the CA Encryption Key Manager Networked Key Management Option.

This command has the following format:

BESn DISPLY DATABASE,SUBSYS

n

Indicates the BES task number.

This command can be abbreviated as follows:

BESn DISPLY DB,SUB

Example: DISPLAY DATABASE,SUBSYS command

This example issues the command on LPAR SY0A to the BES1 subsystem:

BES1 DISPLAY DATABASE,SUBSYS

The output from the display command shows the following:

• A BES2 subsystem sharing the same database running on LPAR SY0A.
• BES1 and BES2 subsystems sharing the database running on LPAR SY0B.
• Three subsystems (BES6, BES7 and BES8 on LPAR SY0A) which have shared the database but have not been started since October 2010 and August 2009 respectively.
• Remove keys that were mirrored by CA Encryption Key Manager Networked Key Management Option from remote LPARS ES00 and ES01.
