Refreshing policies

The MODIFY command may be used to interactively cause the Policy Agent to reread the configuration information and, if requested, download objects from the LDAP server. In addition to this, the Policy Agent will also accept SIGHUP signals to perform the refresh function. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP System Administrator's Commands for more detailed information on the MODIFY command.

Restriction: The import policy configuration files are parsed only once. The import policies are not installed in the TCP/IP stack, so the MODIFY REFRESH and MODIFY UPDATE commands do not apply to these files.
