MODIFY is a Data Collector command that you can issue only from the command text area of the Data Collector Command Interface panel (DOMECMDA) or from the system operator console.
MODIFY is used to display or modify:
The timeout limit for the execution of commands from the Command Interface panels
The Apptune collection interval
Syntax of the MODIFY command
Parameter
Description
DCssid
The subsystem ID of the Data Collector for which values are to be modified or displayed. Use this parameter only when issuing the command from the console. When the command is issued from the Data Collector Command Interface input panel, it applies automatically to the currently selected Data Collector.
TIMEOUT
If TIMEOUT is specified without minutes, the current time-out limit for the execution of commands from the Command Interface panels for the specified Data Collector is displayed.
minutes
(Optional) Specify a number of minutes in the range 1-60 to modify the time-out limit for the execution of commands from the Command Interface panels for the specified Data Collector.
APPCYCLE
If APPCYCLE is specified with only DB2ssid, the current Apptunecollection interval for this Db2 subsystem is displayed.
If APPCYCLE is specified with both DB2ssid and minutes, the Apptunecollection interval for the specified Db2 subsystem is modified to the new value. Valid values are any number in the range 0-9999.
Example
The current interval begins at 10:00 and is set to 60. At 10:15, the interval is modified to 11 minutes. The next interval sample occurs at approximately 10:26, followed by another at 10:37, followed by another at 10:48, and so on.
Important
If you specify a value greater than 1440, the collection interval will be longer than 24 hours. If you specify 0, the current value will remain unchanged.
You can find information about issuing commands from the Data Collector Command Interface panel in online Help (type HELP DOMECMDA).
