Displaying process information

Example: To display the process information for address spaces, issue:

D OMVS,A=ALL

Result: The output will be similar to the following example:

 D OMVS,A=ALL

 USER     JOBNAME  ASID        PID       PPID STATE
 OMVSKERN BPXOINIT 002A          1          0 1WI
 MVS      TCPIP    002B      65538          1 MR
 TS65106  TS65106  0032          9          1 1RI
 TS65106  TS65106  0032         10          9 1CI
   LATCHWAITPID=         0 CMD=-sh

The display output shows the active processes, ASIDs, process identifiers, parent process IDs, and states. Use this to obtain ASIDs of processes that you want to dump.

Tip: A complete description of the D OMVS output can be found in message BPXO040I. To look up that message, go to z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 3 (ASB-BPX).
