IBM i System Configuration
Query system configuration including system values, hardware resources, device status, environment variables, and JVM settings using SQL services from QSYS2 and SYSTOOLS.
Available Tools
The ibmi CLI is the primary tool for executing configuration queries. Set SKILL_DIR to this skill's installed location (the directory containing this SKILL.md file):
# SKILL_DIR = directory containing this SKILL.md
# Examples: ./skills/configuration, ~/.claude/skills/configuration
ibmi tools --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --toolset configuration_default
ibmi tool get_system_values --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
ibmi sql "SELECT * FROM QSYS2.SYSTEM_VALUE_INFO WHERE SYSTEM_VALUE_NAME = 'QSECURITY'"
Service Selection Guide
System Values
- QSYS2.SYSTEM_VALUE_INFO -- All system values with current and default settings
Hardware & Devices
- QSYS2.HARDWARE_RESOURCE_INFO -- Processors, storage, communication adapters, etc.
- SYSTOOLS.CONFIGURATION_STATUS -- Controllers, devices, and lines with status
Environment
- QSYS2.ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_INFO -- System and job-level environment variables
- QSYS2.JVM_INFO -- Active Java Virtual Machines with heap and GC metrics
Key Capabilities
System Values
- Full Catalog -- Browse all system values by category
- Single Lookup -- Get a specific system value by name
- Security Focus -- Dedicated security system values view (QSECURITY, QAUDCTL, etc.)
- Default Comparison -- Compare current values against shipped defaults
Hardware Inventory
- Resource Listing -- All hardware resources with status and identification
- Status Filtering -- Find operational, failed, or varied-off resources
- Device Types -- Processors, disk, tape, communication, crypto, optical
Configuration Status
- Device Health -- Controllers, devices, and lines with current status
- Type Filtering -- Filter by *CTLD, *DEV, or *LIN
- Timestamp Tracking -- Creation and last-change timestamps
Runtime Environment
- Environment Variables -- System and job-level PASE/ILE settings
- JVM Monitoring -- Active Java runtimes with heap, GC, and thread info
Common Use Cases
- Security review -- Check security-related system values
- Configuration audit -- Compare system values against best practices
- Hardware inventory -- List all system hardware resources
- Device troubleshooting -- Find failed or varied-off devices
- JVM monitoring -- Review active Java environments and heap usage
- Environment check -- Verify PATH, LANG, and other environment settings
- System value lookup -- Quick lookup of any specific system value
Quick Examples
Security system values
ibmi tool get_security_system_values --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
Look up a specific system value
ibmi tool get_system_value --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/" --sysval-name QSECURITY
Hardware resources
ibmi tool get_hardware_resources --tools "$SKILL_DIR/tools/"
Configuration object status
