Refreshing a subsystem or subsystem group

Use the refresh command to tell a System Resource Controller (SRC) resource such as a subsystem or a group of subsystems to refresh itself.

The following are the prerequisites for refreshing a subsystem or subsystem group:

  • The SRC must be running.
  • The resource you want to refresh must not use the signals communications method.
  • The resource you want to refresh must be programmed to respond to the refresh request.

The refresh command provides flags and parameters for specifying the subsystem by name or PID. You can also use it to request a subsystem or group of subsystems be refreshed, either locally or on remote hosts. See the srcmstr command for the configuration requirements to support remote SRC requests.
