Dynamic LSAM Configuration
What is it?
Dynamic configuration allows most MCP Agent configuration variables to be applied while the agent is active by selecting LOADCFG from the Main Menu of SMA/MANAGER, eliminating the need to restart the agent. The exception is the 'Max number concurrent jobs' value, which requires a full restart to take effect.
- Apply updated configuration settings to a running MCP Agent without interrupting active jobs.
- Start Optional Modules that were activated in the configuration file after the agent was initially started.
For all MCP Agent configuration variables, except 'Max number concurrent jobs', changes made to the agent configuration file may be applied while the agent is active. To apply the changes, select LOADCFG from the Main Menu of *SMA/MANAGER/xxx. If any of the Optional Modules were not started when the agent was initiated, or have been stopped, and they have since been activated in the agent configuration file, select LOADCFG from the Main Menu of *SMA/MANAGER to initiate them. However, if you initiated one of those Optional Modules with the agent and have since deactivated it within the agent configuration file, the current execution of that module will not be stopped. It simply will not be initiated by the agent the next time the agent is started.
Changes to the 'Max number concurrent jobs' value will NOT be implemented while the agent is active.
All modules unconditionally note within their respective log files that an update to the configuration values has been requested. If the update was unsuccessful, this is also noted within the log by one of the following messages:
- Unable to update configuration.
- Config values not updated.
- Unable to update using new config file.
- Unable to refresh configuration values:
<name of configuration file>. - In addition to the log entry, the message, "CONFIG requested ACCEPTED", will be displayed upon the system console.
