Use the $ADD DEStid command to dynamically define a symbolic destination name for a node, workstation, or device. The DEST= parameter specifies the route code (destination) you want to associate with the DEStid name. When you dynamically define a JES2 symbolic destination, it is carried across a hot start of JES2 only. To permanently define the symbolic destination, add a new DEStid initialization statement before restarting JES2.

Changing the destination associated with a DEStid

Use the $T DEStid command to change the route code (destination) name associated with a specific or generic DEStid. The DEST= parameter specifies the destination you wish to change.

Note: You cannot alter a DEStid whose status is the node name. (Use the $D DEStid command to determine the status of a DEStid.) Change the node name first (to make it inactive) using the $T NODE command, then issue the $T DEStid command.
