Elardus, Sometimes manually, sometimes through batch JCL, sometimes automated as part of a test suite, but usually just a variation on RO *ALL,V 8000-8FFF,ONLINE.
I work in a lab, so we usually do this when starting up a test, but when testing replication you can be taking things online/offline several times through a test series. Sometimes you are just verifying that IOCDS change has worked, or did not break something. Default is referring to the changes being suggested in this thread, such as controlling the scope of vary with parmlib. Change it by all means, but keep current behavior as the default.
