1 REFRESHOPTIONS causes the Collector to read the options that are currently defined for the local CICS region from the control file. The Collector uses these options to override the ones that are currently in use. The Collector must be in the Running state or the Paused state at the time this option is specified; otherwise, no action is taken.
2 REFRESHALLOPTIONS causes the Collector for all regions where it is running to read the options that are currently defined for their local CICS region from the control file. Each collector uses the new options to override the options currently in use.
