Note: The operator can change the class or the priority of a request, even if the
pre-queuing user-exit routine prevents the system administrator or the user from
doing so.
The modification is accepted if the file-transfer request specified by the request
number is still waiting.
Initiating a Request-Queue Rebuild
You can use the MODIFY command to rebuild the request queue.
►►──┬─MODIFY ─┬──id──┬─,INITIATE
─┬──QR──┬────────────┬────────────►◄
└─F ──────┘
└─,I ────────┘
└─,DELAY=hhh─┘ id The identifier that you used in the START command to start the queue handler.
hhh
Number of hours that a file-transfer request must have had the status finished
before it is deleted from the queue. If you omit this value, the value specified
in the DELAY startup parameter is used.
Although an automatic request-queue rebuild takes place when the queue is full,
the operator can perform a queue rebuild at a noncritical time, for example, in the
morning. During a queue rebuild, the queue handler does not allow any filetransfer
requests to be added to the queue, nor any file-transfer requests to be
scheduled. Note that only successfully finished requests are deleted.
Holding and Releasing Servers
One Server
You can use the MODIFY command to hold or release one or all servers.
The syntax of the command is:
►►──┬─MODIFY ─┬──id──┬─,MODIFY
─┬──┬─suffix──┬──┬─,HOLD────┬───────►◄
└─F ──────┘
└─,F ──────┘
└─jobname─┘├─,H───────┤ ├─,RELEASE─┤ └─,R───────┘ id The identifier that you used in the START command to start the queue handler.
suffix
The suffix of the server to be modified.
jobname
The job name of the server to be modified. This format must be used if the
server was not started via the queue handler.
HOLD
The queue handler does not schedule any local file-transfer requests for the
server. However, the server is still able to serve remote file-transfer requests.
