z/TPF Program Management - IBM

Activate a loadset of E-type programs and files
Use the ZOLDR ACTIVATE command to activate a loadset of programs and files.
The programs and files in a loadset are available for use by new entries in the
z/TPF system when the loadset are activated by using the ZOLDR ACTIVATE
command.
Selectively activate a loadset of E-type programs and files
You can control the use of E-type programs and files by selectively activating a
loadset of programs and files. Use the SEL option of the ZOLDR ACTIVATE
command to limit the use of new programs and files to specific terminals, lines,
users, and others.
Note: Use the selective activate user exits to specify the terminals, lines, users,
and others that you want to allow to use a specific loadset of programs and
files. See “Use selective activate exits” on page 91 for information to help
you write the code needed to support the SEL option.
Deactivate a loadset of E-type programs and files
Use the ZOLDR DEACTIVATE command to deactivate a loadset of programs and
files. ZOLDR DEACTIVATE makes all programs and files in a loadset become
inactive when they finish processing. When all programs and files in a loadset are
deactivated, previously active versions of the programs and files are used by new
entries.
Note: The FORCE option processes before any previously scheduled ZOLDR
tasks. It should only be used if ZOLDR DEACTIVATE processing ends with
an error. The FORCE option can change the version of a program or file that
is currently in use by an entry. This could cause interface problems.
Delete a loadset of E-type programs and files
Use the ZOLDR DELETE command to delete a loadset of programs and files.
ZOLDR DELETE makes all of the fixed file records associated with a loadset of
programs and files be returned to the pool of available fixed file records. It also
removes the z/TPF collection support file system (TFS) files associated with a
loadset. ZOLDR DELETE cannot delete an active loadset until it has been
deactivated.
If a program in the loadset is still active, the system changes the loadset name to
-nnnn (where nnnn is 0000–9999) and marks it as delete pending. The system
deletes the renamed loadset when all ECBs using the loadset are finished.
Accept a loadset of E-type programs and files
Use the ZOLDR ACCEPT command to accept a loadset of programs and files.
ZOLDR ACCEPT makes the active loadset of programs and files replace the base
version of existing programs and files. The fixed file records associated with an
accepted loadset of programs and files are deleted after you perform the accept.
