IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Programming: Pipes - IBM notice

Usage Notes
Examples
resides. This can be specified as a wildcard of an asterisk (*), which matches
any sysplex name. This operand is not needed for members within the local
NetView's sysplex.
group_name
Specifies the name of the group. The value can be 1–8 characters in length.
member_name
Specifies the name of the member whose table data is being retrieved or set.
An error message is generated if the member name is for a member other than
one created by a START XCF command from the local NetView system.
v The XCFTABLE stage command accepts one input stream. If it is connected, the
stage sets the specified field with the input message. For the state field, this can
be1-32bytes in length. This message is passed to the output stream.
v If the XCFTABLE stage command is the first stage, the pipeline returns the data
field on the output stream
v If group_name or plex_name is not unique within the enterprise, use of the
wildcard (*) for plex_name can result in errors.
Example: Retrieving the state field in a user-defined XCF group
To retrieve the state field for member CNM01 in the user-defined XCF group
SAMPLE in the local sysplex, enter this command:
PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD SAMPLE.CNM01 | CONSOLE
Example: Retrieving the state field in a NetView XCF group in a
local sysplex
To retrieve the state field for member CNM01 in the NetView XCF group
DSIPLX01 in the local sysplex, enter this command:
PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD DSIPLX01.CNM01 | CONSOLE
Example: Retrieving the state field using a wildcard character in
an enterprise environment
Assume the local NetView system is functioning as an enterprise master, and is
managing a remote XCF group DSIPLX02 in sysplex SAMPPLEX. The label on the
ENT.SYSTEMS statement is REMPLX1. To retrieve the state field for member
CNM02, enter this command:
PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD REMPLX1.SAMPPLEX.DSIPLX02.CNM02 | CONSOLE
PIPE XCFTABLE
Note that a wildcard can be used for the label name or the plex name. Any of the
following forms would also work:
v PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD *.SAMPPLEX.DSIPLX02.CNM02 | CONSOLE
v PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD REMPLX1.*.DSIPLX02.CNM02 | CONSOLE
v PIPE XCFTABLE STATFLD *.*.DSIPLX02.CNM02 | CONSOLE
