Changing GENERICs

The operator can change the SMCS GENERIC that is in use by the sysplex using the following command:

     K M,GENERIC=generic

The operator can also turn off the SMCS GENERIC by using:

     K M,GENERIC=*NONE*

Each SMCS application in the sysplex will continue to use the old GENERIC until that SMCS application is recycled, using the V NET,INACT and V NET,ACT commands. Each SMCS can be recycled separately. Once each SMCS application is recycled, it will use the new GENERIC value, but any SMCS application that has not yet been recycled will continue to use the old GENERIC value. Therefore, it is possible to have some SMCS applications using the old GENERIC value and some using the new GENERIC value. You can issue D C,SMCS to verify your actions.

Message IEE820E will be issued as a reminder that an SMCS needs to be recycled and will remain outstanding until all SMCS applications are using the new GENERIC value.
