Loading and Reloading Exits
ETA allows you to dynamically load exits that were not made available to IMS when the control region was started and reload updates to exits that are already available to IMS. Exits that you load or reload are immediately active, even if you reload an exit that was previously deactivated. These changes remain in effect until the next IMS restart (emergency, warm, or cold start).
