Managing the WAN Subsystem

WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual—522463-011

5-6

Altering WAN Subsystem Processes and Objects

You use the WAN subsystem SCF ALTER command to alter WAN subsystem

processes and objects.

A process or an object must be in the STOPPED state before it can be altered. You

can stop objects and processes using the commands described in Stopping WAN

Subsystem Processes and Objects on page 5-7.

Altering a PROFILE Object

You can use the SCF ALTER PROFILE command to alter a modifier in a profile. A

profile defines configuration modifiers that are used by the data-communications

subsystem objects. Here is an example of using ALTER PROFILE to change the

values of several modifiers:

ALTER PROFILE $ZZWAN.#CP6130, &

BSCNONSTOPOFF, BSCSYNCS 3, BSCREADTO 3000, &

BSCRETRIES 7, BSCITBSIZE 0, PROFILEID 1

Altering a DEVICE Object

You can use the SCF ALTER DEVICE command to change any modifier or modifier

value in the device record for a specific DEVICE object. When you use the SCF

ALTER DEVICE command to change a modifier or modifier value, you are changing

the device record for that device, not the profile used by that DEVICE object. Modifiers

and modifier values that are part of a device record can be different from the modifiers

and modifier values in the profile used by a DEVICE object.

For more information about the relationship between DEVICE and PROFILE objects,

see Associating a PROFILE Object to a DEVICE Object on page 4-28.

DEVICE Changes the values of the attributes of a data-communications

subsystem object.

PATH Changes the IP address of an existing PATH object.

multiplexer, a TFTP server, or a WANBoot process. You

cannot alter the HOSTIP or TCP/IP attributes for WanBoot,

configuration modifiers that are used by the data-

communications subsystem objects.
