Yes, You can update the CICS SVC without an IPL.
There is a program supplied with CICS to do it.
Look for DFHCSVCJ in the CICS samplib.

Hello
I apologise for the dummy question as I am new to Tape DFRMM
We have a job which searches the RMM catalog for the tape to be in drive
and vault.
Some questions popped out in my mind. How does RMM decides that a
particular tape has to be moved to VAULT and how does it know that tape
must
My experience is that it has always been that way. I've always had to fill the
first line completely, and continue on next line. Takes some creative
cut/paste. What you suggest would be a nice improvement, but IMO nothing is
broke.

We also restart CICS every night (at least some regions).
But that happens in the middle of the night (at 3 am, I think).
This was a special case where I wanted to finish as soon as possible.

Thanks for the reassurance.
Thinking further, I now remember that their only debugger was TSO TEST! I
wrote a mixture of Rexx and CLIST commands to extend it a bit (show regs
and disassemble the next instruction, every breakpoint).
Is there anything more /modern/ that's given away with z/OS?

As others have said, MVS is MVS. However, z/OS has a lot more of posix (Unixy)
stuff.
TSO TEST is all that comes free with the system.
ISPF is still ISPF. REXX may have a few more commands/functions.
If they got the debugger (forgot its name) that may help you. I use IPCS and if

2) might work, but it doesn't explain the blank problem. 1) does not work
because the two lines of SDSF command are not actually a single buffer the way
TSO option 6 is. At the end of the line, the keyboard locks. Likewise, deleting
blanks at the end of the line does pull the second line

Some people use SSH and similar tools but ISPF works just like it always did;
perhaps a tiny bit better.

Hi Skip,
That's what I figured (i.e. Copy and Paste from Windows/Linux).
The blanks are a result of taking your text cross-platform.
One last thing ... Why do you bring up the panle with "/+"?
("/" alone is good enough)

Could we use SYSTEM boost to make the process of shutting down the CICS
region and restarting them?
That would not be an appropriate use of the shutdown boost. Shutdown boost
is for shutting down the entire system.
Note that IBM also has a separate feature called "System Recovery Boost
Hit PF5 IIRC on the /+ panel and you will get a field that wraps.
Yes, insert and delete characters still will not work. But the command will.
Any blanks in the fields "count." You will need
...OPERTUNE,DB04
MSTR
(Watch out if IBMMAIN combines the above two lines.)

Not the answer you asked for, but I typically put my Slip traps in
SYS1.**.PARMLIB IEASLPxx and then just do a SET SLIP=xx
I can put blanks and comments in the member so I know what I was last doing.
A Dynamic slip makes one guess in the future what it was for.
Just my personal opinion

Hi Skip,
There are 2 things you can do:
1) Keep typing and let the text wrap
2) Strike Enter after "OPERTUNE," and continue the command by Replying

Jake,
From my dim memory, EDGRRPTR created an extended extract, before we
added that capability
I would also point out quite a few customers restart CICS on a daily
(sometimes weekly) basis. They IPL much less frequently (likewise
structure recovery etc).
I should imagine therefore there would have to be a lot of thinking around
terms and conditions for something such as restarting CICS.
As an aside, David Spiegels option 2), if it works, depends on the quirky SLIP
command, since very few commands continue reprompting until a logical end.
EOF does not work because the two line buffers appear not be connected.
Inserting blanks up front might work. Kind of a pain. But thanks!
We were instructed by a vendor to set a two line SLIP trap for a problem
affecting their product. My colleague used the SDSF command facility (/+) to
enter the command. Working together, we could not get it to work because
trailing blanks on the first line were passed to MVS, breaking the
Which version of z/OS are you running?
Do you have any ISPF or SDSF Usermods?

I'll have to give this a try. What I did not mention in the original post was
that we 'edited' this complicated command in a text file and then copy/pasted
