Changing an existing DEDB Data Capture exit routine using online change

You can change an existing DEDB Data Capture exit routine by using the online change function.

To change an existing Data Capture exit routine, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Allow the dependent regions that are accessing DEDBs with the particular Data Capture exit to end normally.
  2. Assemble and link edit the changed exit routine into the IMS SDFSRESL or one of the libraries of the IMS SDFSRESL STEPLIB concatenation.
  3. Start the dependent regions. Data Capture exits are loaded at dependent region initialization time, so the new version of the exit will take effect when the region is started. Data Capture exit routines that were linked as reentrant or reusable are unloaded at dependent region termination time. Otherwise, they are unloaded after every DL/I call.
