information about shunted URs and URs that are restarting. The provided information
includes age and status of the UR, the jobname with which this UR is associated, and the
current step within the job.
► To display entries currently contained in the shunt log:
DISPLAY SMS,SHUNTED,{SPHERE(sphere)|
URID(urid|ALL)}
Entries are moved to the shunt log when DFSMStvs is unable to finish processing a sync
point for them. There are several reasons this might occur; an I/O error is one of the
possible causes. Depending on what was specified, you get information for a particular
VSAM sphere, a particular UR, or for all shunted URs in the sysplex.
► To display information about logstreams that DFSMStvs is currently using:
DISPLAY SMS,LOG(logstream|ALL)
If ALL is specified, information about all log streams in use is provided from the system on
which the command is issued. The output includes the status and type of the log stream,
the job name and URID of the oldest unit of recovery using the log, and also a list of all
DFSMStvs instances that are using the log.
► To display information about a particular data set:
DISPLAY SMS,DSNAME(dsn)
Use this command to display jobs currently accessing the data set using DFSMStvs
access on the systems within the sysplex.
IDCAMS command SHCDS
The IDCAMS command SHCDS was enhanced to display and modify recovery information
related to DFSMStvs. For more information about this command, see z/OS DFSMS Access
Method Services for Catalogs, SC26-7394.
Important: This chapter simply provides an overview of new operator commands to know
to work with DFSMStvs. Before using these commands (other than the DISPLAY
command), read the official z/OS manuals carefully.
