Network Changes

If the characteristics of the network are changing from those shown on the DB.5 panel, use the UPD function on the DB.5 panel. If you have many changes, use the Batch Terminal Interface (BTI) facility to make these changes.

Note: For more information about BTI, see the Interface Reference Guide.

In most cases, reconnecting the network may not be necessary, but the schedule may be different. Be sure to consider the schedule function for this particular network. You can use the DB.2 scheduling panels for this purpose.

If the function of the network changes, the job connections for that network may also change. In this case, you can use the DB.3.4 panel to redefine the job connections.

Keep in mind that one network can be connected to more than one CPU job and schedule changes may be associated with the change of network function. Use the LNTWK,NW=networkname,LIST=USERS command to determine which jobs are connected to the network.

If the number of stations in a network changes, the stations cannot be added or deleted if the network has a schedule. The schedule must first be deleted.
