Using the Configuration Update dialog
Notes:
- This facility enables components of the configuration
to be updated without the need to
close and restart IBM Session Manager; by default, you can use this facility only if
you have a security authorization level of 9.
- It is not possible to delete statements using the
Configuration Update facility; the only definitions that are removed
are those which are replaced by new definitions with a duplicate name.
- For detailed information on using this facility,
refer to 'Using the Update Facility' in the IBM Session Manager Technical Reference
manual.
To specify the IBM Session Manager component
Use these input fields on the Configuration Update
dialog:
Update
- Use the drop-down list associated with this field
to select the components of the configuration to be updated.
- Note: If you select a value other than ALL
then an additional input field will appear immediately to the right of
the Update field which enables
you to specify a qualifying name.
- ALL Causes
IBM Session Manager to use the OPTION
statement specified at startup to determine which files are to be processed
by the update.
- CONFIG
May be used to change, or add to, the current configuration. A suffix
of any two alphanumeric characters must be supplied using the additional
input field; this suffix may or may not match the startup configuration
source member suffix. All statements in the specified file will be processed,
including COPY statements. The point
at which each updated configuration statement or parameter comes into
effect is dependent on its type.
- MEMBER
May be used to process statements in an additional source member. A member
name must be supplied using the additional input field and may be any
valid combination of alphanumeric characters up to a maximum of eight.
All partitioned datasets in the search chain for the CONFIG DD
statement are searched for the member name.
Print
- If you check this field then all control statements
defined in the configuration source file are output to the console and
the Audit Log.
- Note: To avoid filling the console log, the MESSAGE
statement (MSG 862I) may be used to
cause the control statements to appear only on the Audit Log.
- If you do not check this field then only control
statements in error and the appropriate error messages are output to
the console and the Audit Log.
