/REFRESH Command

The /REFRESH command refreshes the UID resource table that was loaded during CA WA CA 7 Edition initialization without cycling CA WA CA 7 Edition.

This command has the following format:

/REFRESH,MOD={membername|MSGRCNTL}

MOD=membername

Defines a UID resource table in load module format that was built using the CA7RTBL macro. This name must be the member name of the UID resource table and it must reside in a load library accessible to CA WA CA 7 Edition. The name MSGRCNTL is reserved.

If MOD=SERVDESK is specified, the CA Service Desk filter rules are reread from the SERVDESK DD statement.

Note: For more information about the CA WA CA 7 Edition UID resource table, see the Security Reference Guide.

MOD=MSGRCNTL

Specifies to refresh control options dynamically for CA WA CA 7 Edition Master Station Message Routing (MSMR). These options are set in the CA WA CA 7 Edition MSMR Control File (MSGRCNTL DD statement in the CA WA CA 7 Edition JCL).

Use /REFRESH,MOD=MSGRCNTL for the following situations:

You want to update the list of message recipients.
You want to alter message selection or customization criteria without having to recycle the CA WA CA 7 Edition started task.

Limits: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

Note: During the brief interval that is required for processing /REFRESH,MOD=MSGRCNTL, messages occasionally appear to be improperly selected or excluded. Most users tolerate such behavior to avoid the overhead of recycling CA WA CA 7 Edition.

If this exposure is considered unacceptable, users should issue the command at a time when few messages are being generated or attempt to quiesce activities that produce messages before issuing the command.

Note: For more information about CA WA CA 7 Edition Master Station Message Routing (MSMR), see the Systems Programming Guide.
