This documentation describes the operator commands that can be entered on the operator console to control and display Entire System Server activities.
This section covers the following topics:
The following command format is required to communicate with the Entire System Server via the operator console. Note that parameters in UPPERCASE must be typed as is. Parameters in italics must be substituted with a valid value.
F taskname, command parameter |
where:
| taskname | is the name of the Entire System Server started task or job at your installation. |
|---|---|
| command | is the operator command keyword. |
| parameter | is a parameter that allows you to issue an operator command for selected items. |
MSG pt replid command parameter |
where:
| pt | is the partition in which the Entire System Server is executing. |
|---|---|
| replid | is the reply identifier assigned to prompt. |
| command | is the operator command keyword. |
| parameter | is a parameter that allows you to issue an operator command for selected items. |
/INTR tsn,command parameter |
where:
| tsn | is the task sequence number of the Entire System Server main task (with loaded module NPRINIT). |
|---|---|
| command | is the operator command keyword |
| parameter | is a parameter that allows you to issue an operator command for selected items. |
In the syntax diagrams that follow, a parameter enclosed in curly braces {} are optional, parameters in italics are variables that must be substituted with a real value, for example, a name. If more than one parameter appears, only one may be specified.
In the examples, only the command and parameter keywords are described. You must supply the other command operands as appropriate to the operating system.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| ADAEND | OS/390, BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
No more processing takes place. Existing calls to the Entire System Server are allowed to finish, but new calls are rejected. Processing ends after the last call has finished.
If the startup parameter SHUTDOWN-MAX-DELAY is specified as non-zero, the Entire System Server tries to stop any available ESM monitor (EOM, EOR, ...) and waits for the monitors to shut down. New calls are not rejected until SHUTDOWN-MAX-DELAY time is elapsed. If all ESM monitors are stopped in the meantime, the deferred shutdown is not needed any longer and ADAEND will be executed.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| CANCEL | USER=userid ID=sessionid JOB=jobname |
OS/390, BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
Cancels the specified user in the Entire System Server address space.
Examples:
CANCEL USER=ITSME |
cancels all active sessions with the Entire System Server for user ITSME.
CANCEL ID=nnnn |
where nnnn is the corresponding Entire System Server ID retrievable using the view NATPROC-USERS, or via the operator command:
USERS userid |
CANCEL JOB=ESYSTART |
Activates or deactivates dynamic server support.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| SERVER-DYN | YES NO |
BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
Sets the SERVER-MIN parameter to the specified value. nn must not be more than SERVER-MAX.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| SERVER-MIN | nn | BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
Sets the SERVER-MAX parameter to the specified value. nn must not be less than SERVER-MIN.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| SERVER-MAX | nn | BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
Displays information about current server load.
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| SERVERS | BS2000/OSD, VSE/ESA |
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| SHUTDOWN | EOR NOM NCM ALL * |
The operator command SHUTDOWN is now supported to stop the monitors of Entire System Management products (ESM).
Using the above syntax, you can shutdown the monitors of Entire Operations (EOR), Entire Output Management (NOM), Entire Event Management (NCM) or all running monitors at a time (ALL or *).
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| START | ALL | OS/390, VSE/ESA, BS2000/OSD |
"START ALL" (re)starts the initial SAT task to run ESM monitors.
Command is rejected if the SAT environment is still active.
Issue command "SHUTDOWN ALL" to stop SAT environment.

OS/390 |
Free tape units allocated to the Entire System Server.
Example:
TAPEFREE MYTAPE |
TAPEFREE ALL |
| Command | Parameter | Operating System |
|---|---|---|
| USERS | userid | OS/390, VSE/ESA, BS2000/OSD |
Displays the specified user ID as a message on the console. Without the userid parameter, a list of all users is displayed. You can also specify a prefix followed by an asterisk * to select those user IDs starting with that prefix.
Example:
USERS ITSME |
USERS SAG* |
