Jerry Lawson is suggesting to use a SHOW command to retrieve some information
from the ADSM DB.

As far as I am aware, the SHOW command is not supported by IBM. I.e., IBM can
remove them, change their behaviour, or decline responsibility if the command
does provide incomplete or incorrect information. In other words, it is a tool
that is dangerous to use in a production environment.

I am correct, or have I missed some announcement that would invalidate the
previous statement?

If I am correct, Could IBM provide us with some tools that are officially
supported, and that would provide the functionalities that SHOW provides?
