Saving Changes to Node Records Using the Save Active Option

About this task

The Save Active option on the Secure+ Admin Tool File menu enables you to dynamically save changes to all records in an existing Connect:Direct® Secure Plus parameter file.

You must use the Save As option the first time you create the parameter file. This option deletes, defines, and reloads the IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file. See Saving and Submitting the IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus Parameter File.

Note: IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus for z/OS® must be running in order to use the Save Active option. Any changes made to node records take effect immediately.

To save the IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus parameter file and put any changes made in effect immediately:

Procedure

  1. Open the Admin Tool.
  2. Select File and press Enter.
  3. Type 6 to select Save Active.
  4. Read all warning and error messages. You can continue without resolving warning messages, but you must resolve all errors before you save the parameter file.
    CAUTION:
    Because IBM Connect:Direct Secure Plus for z/OS cannot restrict multiple users from attempting to apply updates to the same parameter file, measures should be in place to ensure that only one user is accessing a particular parameter file at one time. If precautions are not taken, updates will be lost and conflicts among multiple user interfaces will occur.
