Displaying Sysplex information
INTRODUCTION
The IXCQUERY service is useful for displaying Sysplex information.
It provides information similar to that provided by the command ‘D
XCF’, except you can get more information. The report consists of a
list of Sysplex objects:
• Basic configuration (systems in the Sysplex).
• Coupling facility information.
• Groups and members of the groups (a group is a set of related
members that a Sysplex-wide application defines to XCF).
• Structures and connections (a structure is an object used by MVS
to manage storage on a coupling facility).
For the CF and structure inquiry, the program may return a RC 12,
reason 324 if no CF (or equivalent) is installed on your site. However,
group information will be displayed if it is a monoplex.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT
A shortened example of what the program would display on a threesystem
Sysplex is shown below. The only structure here is IEFAUTOS,
used for automatic tape switching (it stores the status of on-line
automatically switchable tape devices across the Sysplex).
