Reloading configuration of a cell
The cell does not automatically reconfigure itself, but you can customize and reload the configuration after you have made configuration changes without restarting the cell.
To reload cell configuration
To trigger the reconfiguration, perform one of the following actions:
- Send a hang-up signal on UNIX.
- Run the
mcontrolcommand on UNIX, Linux, or Windows. For information about themcontrolcommand, see mcontrol.
The following table lists the specific instances in which the reconfigure feature can be used and the effect that results from its use.
Files for cell reconfiguration
| Type | Name/Directory | Result of reconfiguration |
|---|---|---|
| cell directory | mcell.dir 1 | This internal directory is replaced with new contents from the mcell.dir file. Associated data objects are replaced as well. Connected clients and destinations remain connected, even if the corresponding directory entries are modified. |
| cell tracing | mcell.trace 1 | Tracing is adapted and has the same effect as through the mcfgtrace CLI. |
| cell configuration | mcell.conf | The cell restarts automatically. |
| mcell.propagate | ||
| mcell.modify | ||
| KB collector | kb\collectors | The cell restarts automatically. |
| KB program | kb\classes | The cell restarts automatically. |
| \kb\rules | ||
| \kb\lib | ||
| \kb\bin | ||
| KB data | kb\data | The cell restarts automatically. |
| \kb\records | ||
1 For mcell.dir and mcell.trace, a hang-up signal on a UNIX platform performs maximum reconfiguration without a cell restart. For information about restarting a cell, see Interpreting cell execution failure codes. | ||
