If you only rename a load module on the MOSS disk and do not change
the VTAMLST and NCPLOAD library members, the following problems might
occur:
- The load module does not activate if the name is changed only
on the MOSS disk.
If you code the following, the activation of
the load module will not occur:
F NET,LOAD,ID=NCPA,LOADMOD=NCPA,NEWNAME=NCPA2,ACTION=RENAME
V NET,ACT,ID=NCPA,LOADMOD=NCPA2,LOADFROM=EXT,LOAD=YES
VTAMLST
or NCPLOAD library members have not been changed.
Note: VTAM® searches the VTAMLST file
for load module NCPA2. If VTAM cannot find it, VTAM rejects
the command. VTAM does not
activate NCPA, even if the VTAMLST and NCPLOAD library member names
have changed to NCPA2, because the NEWNAME parameter in the VTAMLST
will not have a matching NCP generation on the NCPLOAD library. Remember,
you changed only the external member names; you did not change the
NEWNAME parameter and generate the load module.
- The renamed load module cannot be replaced if it is renamed only
on the MOSS disk. The following procedure will not work:
F NET,LOAD,ID=NCPA,LOADMOD=NCPA,NEWNAME=NCPA2,ACTION=RENAME
F NET,LOAD,ID=NCPA,ACTION=REPLACE,LOADMOD=NCPA2.
VTAMLST
and NCPLOAD library members were never changed. Note: VTAM processes the MODIFY LOAD command and tries
to load NCPA2. VTAM looks for
the NCPA2. Because VTAM does
not find the NCPA2, VTAM fails
the load. If the NCPA (the VTAMLST member) and NCPA (the NCPLOAD library
member) are changed externally to NCPA2, the replace will occur.
