Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

With this MODIFY command the queue handler changes the number of simultaneous
sessions that the specified server can handle.
A NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS server has control statements that the system programmer
can use to specify the startup parameters for simultaneous sessions (see
also “Specifying Values for the Server Initialization Parameters” on page 113).
These values, except for the value specifying the total maximum number of the
servers’ simultaneous sessions can be changed by the operator via this MODIFY
command.
The next time the specified server obtains a file-transfer request from the queue
handler, the file-transfer request with the highest request class of all server classes
this server now serves is selected.
Example:
F QH,F XY,SRV=(3,2,2)
This command specifies that server XY is to be modified to have a maximum of
three concurrently active sessions, and a maximum of either two local sessions or
two remote sessions.
Modifying a Request’s Class or Priority
You can use the MODIFY command to change the class or the priority of a specific
file-transfer request. The syntax of the command is:
►►──┬─MODIFY ─┬──id──┬─,MODIFY
─┬──REQNUM──=──n──┬─,CLASS=c─┬──────►◄
└─F ──────┘
└─,F ──────┘
├─,C=c─────┤ ├─,PRTY=p──┤ └─,P=p─ ────┘
id The identifier that you used in the START command to start the queue handler.
n The request number of the file-transfer request.
c The new server class to be assigned to the file-transfer request.
p The new request priority to be assigned to the file-transfer request.
This MODIFY command asks the queue handler to change the request class, or
the request priority, of the file-transfer request with the request number n to c, or n
to p. Only the user who submits a file-transfer request, the request queue administrator,
and the operator can change the request class of a file-transfer request.
