Changing the JES3 configuration *MODIFY,CONFIG

Function

You use this command to make configuration changes dynamically to JES3. The command is equivalent to adding the following initialization statements to the initialization stream:
  • SNA RJP
    • RJPWS - SNA RJP Workstation Characteristics
    • CONSOLE - SNA RJP Consoles
    • DEVICE - SNA RJP Devices
  • Non-channel Attached FSS Printers
    • FSSDEF - Functional Subsystem Definition
    • DEVICE - I/O Device Definition

    See z/OS JES3 Initialization and Tuning Reference, DEVICE statement summary table, "Restart or Command Modification" for restrictions on adding FSS managed devices.

  • Network Job Entry
    • DESTDEF - Destination Definitions
Note: If the JES3IN DD data set is concatenated and you use the *MODIFY,CONFIG command, then only the members in the first data set of the concatenation are available to be specified with the ADD= keyword of the *MODIFY,CONFIG command.

Parameters

ADD=mem|M=mem
Specifies the member name to be read from the data set allocated to the JES3IN DD statement in the JES3 cataloged start procedure. This member contains the initialization statements that are used to add the new definition to JES3.
LOG=YES or LOG=NO or LOG=ERR
Specifies whether you want a log data set generated. The log data set contains the initialization statements and any error messages that are generated. The log data set is then spun off for printing at the end of *MODIFY,CONFIG processing.
YES
Create the log data set.
ERR
Create the log data set only if an error occurs.
NO
Do not create the log data set. All error messages will be displayed on the issuing console.

YES is the default.

P=xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx is a parameter string which will be passed to IATUX15 as the statements are processed. This is similar to the P= parameter that can be specified in response to message IAT3012.

Results

The requested information is added to the configuration.
