Administering the Region › Maintain the Region

Maintain the Region

The Administration and Definition option on the primary menu of the 3270 interface enables you to maintain the region configuration as the system environment changes.

Follow these steps:

1. Enter the /PARMS panel shortcut.

   The parameter groups that affect the region configuration are listed. A parameter group contains parameters that determine the characteristics of a region. See also Customizer.

   Note: For more information about parameter groups, see the online help.

2. Update a group as required.

   For example, to change the port of the web interface:

   1. Enter U next to the WEBCENTER parameter group.

      The parameters in the group appear with their current values.

   2. Update the Web Interface Port field, and press F6.

      The port number is changed for the current instance of the region.

   3. Press F3.

      The region saves the changed port number. When the region starts from now on, it uses that port.

   Note: Press F6 to apply a change immediately, and press F3 to save the change permanently.

Important! If the region uses an initialization file at startup, any changes you make manually using the /PARMS panel shortcut are not retained. To keep the changes, regenerate the file using the /CUSTOM.G panel path. For more information about the initialization file, see WebCenter Installation Guide.
