Question
How do I determine if there are any held BROADCAST messages and delete them so they don't fill up IBM Session Manager for z/OS (ISM) memory?
Answer
If a BROADCAST command was entered with the FOR or HOLD parameters to provide a deferred interval or time for delivering the message, you can use the following command to query any held broadcast messages.
QUERY BROADCAST
Any held broadcast messages will be returned in the QUERY BROADCAST results with their message id number. You can then delete any held broadcast messages using the following command.
DELETE BROADCAST message-number
For example, if my QUERY BROADCAST command shows message number '9' as held, and I enter a subsequent DELETE BROADCAST 9 command, the ISM Auditlog will display message:
hh:mm:ss ISZ0338I 'DELETE BROADCAST 9' command issued by userid at termtype termid nodename
hh:mm:ss ISZ0444I MESSAGE 9 date time type FROM userid1 node - DELETED BY userid2 AT termid
