XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

  • To make a change to one of the parameters in the XCOMCNFG file, can XCOM be refreshed without stopping and starting the started task?  Is there some sort of "reload the config" command to be issued with a modify command?
  • Is there a list somewhere of the commands than can be issued to XCOM with a modify command?

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/OS

Resolution

The entire CONFIG member CANNOT be refreshed using commands. Most CONFIG parameters can be dynamically changed by using the XCOM DFLT command.  However, some can't be changed except by recycling the server. Please consult the XCOM for z/OS 12.0 documentation for information about which parameters can be changed on-the-fly.  Note that the changes won't be permanent unless the corresponding changes are made in the actual CONFIG member itself. 

The information about the list of commands than can be issued to XCOM with a modify command can be found on the 
Using the MODIFY Commands page.
