For z/OS platforms Fix Pack 8552

Disabling z/OS operator console command handling in the Liberty profile server

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

The Liberty profile provides the following property to disable the handling of z/OS operator console commands by the Liberty profile server:
websphere.os.extension=zosNoConsoleExtensions-1.0

Procedure

  1. Stop the Liberty profile server.
  2. Set websphere.os.extension=zosNoConsoleExtensions-1.0 in your ${server.config.dir}/bootstrap.properties file.
  3. Start the Liberty profile server.

    When you start the Liberty profile 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.
