You can also enter administration commands at an operator console in order to control openFT. The commands are entered as follows:
MODIFY openft-jobname, adm-command
or in abbreviated form:
F openft-jobname, adm-command
| name of the openFT batch job or started task. |
| FT administration command. |
All the FT administration commands described in the section “openFT commands for installation and initial operation” and the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Command Interface" can be used here except FJGENPAR, FTHELP, FTSHWINS, FTSHWNET und FTTRACE.
If you enter the NCANCEL and NSTATUS commands at an operator console, they are interpreted as administration commands, i.e. you can use these commands to cancel and request information on all users' FT requests (privileged form of the command).
The FT administration commands must be entered as described in the manual "openFT (z/OS) - Command Interface".
Only one MODIFY command can be processed at any one time. If another MODIFY command occurs during processing, the following message is issued:
MODIFY REJECTED-TASK BUSY
In this case you must repeat the command.
The messages issued by openFT in response to the administration commands are displayed at the operator console at which the command was entered. Message lines which do not begin with an error code (e.g. lines in the FTSHWPTN output) are prefixed with the code FJM2000. Since messages are output via the WTO macro in "single line" format, output consisting of a number of lines may be interspersed with other system messages.
Example
You want to set the two parameters CONNECTION-LIMIT and PROCESS-LIMIT to the value 2 from an operator console. The name of the openFT batch job is USERAF.
You must enter the following command at the operator console:
MODIFY USERAF, FTMODOPT CONN-LIM=2, PROC-LIM=2
