Answer Y if you want to invoke DTCCNTRL and make DTS changes take effect now,
or answer N if you don’t want DTS changes to take effect now. Note any messages
that describe additional actions needed for changes to become active. After you exit
NMMGR you can review any actions needed by viewing the logs at the end of the file
LOGDCC.PUB.SYS.
If you answer N, the DTS changes will take effect the next time DTCCNTRL is
invoked, a DTS shutdown/restart is done, or the system is rebooted.
Type H if you need more help to answer the question. See Chapter 4, Dynamic
Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart,” for more information on dynamic
configuration.
4. After viewing the messages describing what actions are required, if any, enter
[RETURN]
when you see the prompt:
(Press RETURN when finished viewing screen contents.)
You will return to the Validation screen. You may make additional configuration
changes or exit NMMGR.
Step 9: Ensure DTS Changes Become Active
If you answered Y to the question “Do you want DTS changes to become active now
(Y/N)? in step 8, refer to Table 4-1 in Chapter 4, “Dynamic Configuration and DTS
Shutdown/Restart,” for a list of configuration tasks and associated actions for changes to
become active. For those tasks indicating “No action; changes take effect dynamically,”
no additional actions are required for the DTS changes to become active. You will see a
message on the screen indicating that no other actions are required. For other tasks
requiring additional actions for changes to become active, you will see messages on the
screen indicating what actions must be taken first..
NOTE If you answered N to the question in step 8, thus choosing not to call DTCCNTRL, refer
to Chapter 4, “Dynamic Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart,” for details on how to
invoke DTCCNTRL outside NMMGR.
Performing a DTC Reboot
First, logoff any sessions. To reset the DTC, turn off the power and then turn on the
power again for the DTC.
You may also use TermDSM, an online diagnostic program for host-managed DTCs, to
reset the DTC. Refer to Troubleshooting Terminal, Printer, and Serial Device
Connections for more information.
Performing a DTS Shutdown/Restart
To perform a DTS shutdown and restart, use the DTCCNTRL command. Refer to Chapter
4, Dynamic Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart,” for more information on how to
use this command to perform a DTS shutdown/restart.
