Configuration Options That Can Be Reloaded

Session Settings

All of the options that are part of the Session Definition configuration dialog and any sub dialogs are applied when reloading a session regardless the runtime state of the session. If you changed the session connection or automation state, for example, using ADDRESS AXC SESSCNTL command, the configured value is used. Some of the options behave in specific ways that might not be obvious:

Sizing

When reloading a session or function window configuration the window Sizing value takes effect only if it is the first time that the window was opened in the active layout. This means that a reload does not change the sizing or position of a window if it was previously displayed on the screen.

Function Window settings

All Function Window Definition configuration dialog options and any sub dialogs are applied when reloading a function window. Additionally the options to enable web message viewing for the subset of function windows that support this feature are reloaded. These options are part of the Web Message Viewing dialog. Sizing configuration for function windows works as described in Session Settings.

Global Session settings

All of the options in the Global Session Settings dialog and any sub dialogs are applied when reloading sessions or function windows unless they have been overridden in Local Session Settings.

Rules settings

All of the options that are part of the Rules Settings dialog can be optionally reloaded when reloading a Session Definition Set. This reload includes the configured rules file, regardless of whether the rules file name or its contents changed.

Termination Rexx program

Optionally a configured Termination Rexx program is executed before the new configuration is applied during a reload of a Session Definition Set. The executed Rexx program is the one configured for termination when the AP Desktop was last started or when the configuration was last applied and reloaded.

Note: Options from both the Rexx Settings and the Overriding Rexx Settings dialogs are applied the same as they are applied during the start of AP Desktop.

Initialization Rexx programs

Optionally configured Initialization Rexx programs are restarted when reloading a Session Definition Set. The restart process consists of two parts. First, any previous Initialization Rexx programs that are still running in AP Desktop are terminated. Second, any Initialization Rexx programs that are configured at the time of the reload are started.

Notes:

• Options from both the Rexx Settings and the Overriding Rexx Settings dialogs account are applied the same as they are applied during the start of AP Desktop.
• Initialization Rexx programs are identified by name and arguments. When an initialization program is terminated and is then later re-launched with same arguments, it is terminated during the reload.
