You can listen for and handle z/OS® operator
console commands directly from your application or product extension feature. However, doing so
conflicts with the built-in Liberty for z/OS operator console command handler. If you want to listen for
commands directly, you need to disable the built-in Liberty for z/OS operator console command listener.
About this task
Liberty provides the following
property to disable the handling of z/OS operator console
commands by the
Liberty server:
websphere.os.extension=zosNoConsoleExtensions-1.0
Procedure
- Stop the Liberty server.
- Set websphere.os.extension=zosNoConsoleExtensions-1.0 in your
${server.config.dir}/bootstrap.properties file.
- Start the Liberty server.
When you start the Liberty server with
this new setting, it no longer listens for z/OS console
commands. This change allows your application to handle z/OS
console commands itself. For more information on implementing z/OS console command listeners and handlers within an application, see MVS™ Programming Authorized Assembler Services
Guide: Communicating with a program (EXTRACT, QEDIT), or the equivalent for your level of z/OS.
