Modifying RMF session options

You can modify the options in effect for the sessions described in this chapter, using the MODIFY command. A changed option remains in effect until the session ends or you issue the MODIFY command to change the option again. The syntax of the MODIFY command is:

{MODIFY} RMF,{MODIFY} session-id[,parm]
{F     }     {F     }

session-id

The identifier you specified on the session command START.

parm

The options for the rest of the session. Each option has the form:

option[(value)]

If you specify multiple options, you must separate them by commas.

The options that you can specify are the same as on the session command START.

For information about how RMF™ processes options when you modify session options, see How RMF processes session options.

Examples:

Monitor I session:
To modify options to include measurement of processor activity, issue the command:
```
MODIFY RMF,MODIFY ZZ,CPU
```
Monitor II background session with the session-ID AB:
To modify the options to add printed output to SMF record output (NOREPORT and RECORD in effect), enter the command:
```
MODIFY RMF,MODIFY AB,REPORT(DEFER)
```
Monitor III gatherer session:
To modify the NOSTOP option to STOP (after a duration of four hours) and change the time interval to 200 seconds, issue the command:
```
MODIFY RMF,MODIFY III,STOP(4H),MINTIME(200)
```

Note: Modifying Monitor I options using the MODIFY command will cause a reinitialization of the complete Monitor I ZZ session.
