Setting the APPLID of the system

Use the CONTROL M,APPLID command to set the APPLID of the system where it is issued. If there is not an APPLID in effect on the system, either because an APPLID was not specified in CONSOLxx, or because the APPLID was invalid or in use by another system during this system's IPL, this command is rejected.

For the new APPLID to take effect, after issuing the CONTROL M command to change it, the VARY NET,INACT,ID=oldapplid[,I or ,F] command must be issued to deactivate SMCS, followed by the VARY NET,ACT,ID=newapplid command to activate SMCS using the new APPLID. This is sometimes referred to as "recycling the APPLID" or "recycling SMCS". Until SMCS is recycled, the old APPLID value is still in use. Message IEE821E is issued to reflect the need to recycle SMCS.

The syntax of the command is:

 
K M,APPLID=aaaaaaaa

The parameters are:

APPLID=aaaaaaaa

Sets the APPLID of the system where it is issued.

Value Range: Is from 2 to 8 characters. The first character must begin with the letters A through Z or with a #, $, or @; the remaining characters can be A through Z, 0 through 9, or #, $, or @.

Example:

Systems SY1 and SY2 are in a sysplex. System SY1 is using APPLID SMCS1, and SY2 is using APPLID SMCS2. To change SY1's APPLID to SMCSA, enter:

     	K M,APPLID=SMCSA

to change the APPLID. However, SY1 will continue to use SMCS1 as its APPLID until SMCS is recycled with the following commands:

     VARY NET,INACT,ID=SMCS1,I
     VARY NET,ACT,ID=SMCSA
