The INQUIRE BRFACILITY command returns information about a bridge facility. This is a virtual terminal used by the 3270 bridge mechanism to simulate a real 3270 when running a CICS 3270 application in a bridged environment. You can use this command in any application running in the Link3270 bridge program or AOR region where the bridge facility was created, to retrieve information about any active bridge facility, even if it is not your principal facility.
You can also browse through the bridge facilities installed in your system by using the browse options (START, NEXT, and END) on INQUIRE BRFACILITY commands. See Browsing resource definitions for general information about browsing, including syntax, exception conditions, and examples.
