Use these input fields on the Configuration Update dialog:
Use the drop-down list associated with this field to select the components of the configuration to be updated.
Note: If you select a value other than ALL then an additional input field will appear immediately to the right of the Update field which enables you to specify a qualifying name.
ALL Causes IBM Session Manager to use the OPTION statement specified at startup to determine which files are to be processed by the update.
CONFIG May be used to change, or add to, the current configuration. A suffix of any two alphanumeric characters must be supplied using the additional input field; this suffix may or may not match the startup configuration source member suffix. All statements in the specified file will be processed, including COPY statements. The point at which each updated configuration statement or parameter comes into effect is dependent on its type.
MEMBER May be used to process statements in an additional source member. A member name must be supplied using the additional input field and may be any valid combination of alphanumeric characters up to a maximum of eight. All partitioned data sets in the search chain for the CONFIG DD statement are searched for the member name.
If you check this field then all control statements defined in the configuration source file are output to the console and the Audit Log.
Note: To avoid filling the console log, the MESSAGE statement (MSG 862I) may be used to cause the control statements to appear only on the Audit Log.
If you do not check this field then only control statements in error and the appropriate error messages are output to the console and the Audit Log.

To close the Response pop-up box, left-click the OK button.
In an OLA system, the OLA_DEFER_USERS parameter on the SYSTEM statement affects when USER statements are loaded into storage.

USER statements are also ignored if the commands UPDATE ALL or PUPDATE USER are issued. To apply any USER statement configuration updates to a user that is already signed on, perform one of these actions:
