Batch Refresh of ETA Data


ETA contains two batch programs that allow you to perform the following functions in batch rather than through the ETA ISPF interface:

  • Refresh BMC CPU passwords
  • Refresh TSS buffers
  • Refresh IMSID options
  • Refresh signon messages
  • Refresh user messages
  • Refresh system ALOT
  • Refresh system ASOT
  • Refresh system DLQT
  • Refresh RACF information

Review ETACNTL library members ETA#REF1 (BMCXLINK not required) and ETA#REF2 (BMCXLINK required) for further information.

The following figure shows the REFRESH statement syntax.
