Options

Basically the CIM server accepts the same options for the MODIFY command as for the cimconfig utility.

jobname

The name of the job that runs the CIM server. When the CIM server is run as a started task, this will usually be CFZCIM.

APPL=CONFIG

This is the indicator for the CIM server that a configuration change was requested through the z/OS system console.

property

The name of the configuration property to be changed. For a complete list of CIM server configuration properties see CIM server configuration. Typically, the only current configuration properties that you can change dynamically are the shutdownTimeout property and the logging and tracing properties. Permanent changes require a CIM server restart. They are indicated using the PLANNED keyword at the end of the MODIFY command string.

value

The new value for the configuration property to be changed. For values that contain a comma or for case sensitive property values such as path names the value needs to be enclosed in single quotes (’). To reset a property to its default value, omit the value parameter.

PLANNED

Indicates that the configuration change should be made permanently. This means that the change will only become effective after a CIM server restart, and that the change will also persist further restarts until it is changed again. If PLANNED was not specified at the end of the command, the changes will only stay in effect until the next restart of the CIM server.

APPL=ENV

The indicator for the CIM server to display the value of one or all environment variables that are currently defined for the CIM server address space.

To display a list of all defined environment variables, issue the command without further parameters.

To display the value of a single environment variable, specify the varname parameter.

varname

The name of an environment variable to be displayed.
