Purpose

The CONFIG command allows the owner of the recovery machine to change some of the configuration information provided during system build.

Operands

DUMPVM dumpuser
Alters the name of the virtual machine to receive dumps to the name specified in dumpuser.
TRACETAB PRIVATE
Designates that the internal trace table is to be in private storage.
TRACETAB COMMON
Designates that the internal trace table is to be in common storage.
AUTHUSER DELETE userid
Deletes the user identified by userid from the authorized list.
AUTHUSER ADD userid
Adds the user identified by userid to the authorized list.

Usage

  1. When the DUMPVM or TRACETAB options are specified, the configuration change is immediate.
  2. When the AUTHUSER option is specified in a multiple user group environment, the change of the user authorization is not effective until the user re-IPLs.
  3. When the AUTHUSER option is specified in a single user group environment, the user authorization change is immediate. Other user IDs may be specified with the AUTHUSER option, but they will have no effect on the operation of the single user environment.
  4. The DUMPVM option is not valid in a single user environment.
