Parameter descriptions

ALL
Specify this to display all the parameters. If this parameter is specified, any parameters that are requested specifically have no effect; all parameters are still displayed.

On AIX, HP OpenVMS, HP-UX, Linux, i5/OS, Solaris, and Windows, this is the default if you do not request any specific parameters.

CMDSCOPE
This parameter applies to z/OS only and specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group.

' '

The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing the queue manager is active within the queue-sharing group.

You can specify a queue manager name, other than the queue manager on which the command was entered, only if you are using a queue-sharing group environment and if the command server is enabled.

*

If you specify this parameter, any request you make to display individual parameters within this set has no effect.

CLUSTER
Specify this to display the set of attributes relating to clustering that are available in the 'Clustering attrs' list. See Requested parameters for information about these parameters.
