Dynamically Refreshing Control-M Parameters

The CTMPARM installation parameters table can be refreshed dynamically, that is, without stopping and restarting the Control‑M Monitor, using the following operator command:

After the command has been executed, the Control‑M Monitor uses the new installation parameters from CTMPARM.

If Control‑M/Restart is installed, NEWPARM also refreshes CTRPARM, and the Monitor then starts to use the new CTRPARM parameters.

Almost all Control‑M and all Control‑M/Restart installation parameters can be dynamically refreshed in this way. For those Control‑M parameters that cannot, the original values are not replaced and the Control‑M Monitor continues to use their original values. These Control‑M parameters are:

• AJFSIZE
• ARMELMNT
• AUTOTAPE
• CTMPLEX
• ENHNJE
• JRNL
• MVBO
• NONSWAPM
• NEWDAYIM
• OPTMODE

To replace these values that cannot be refreshed dynamically, do the following:

1. Stop the Control‑M Monitor.
2. Replace the values in the CTMPARM member.
3. Restart the Monitor.
