Modifying service entry points in the IBM i Service Entry Points view

If you have set a service entry point, you can modify its module, procedure, and user profile values.

About this task

To modify a service entry point in the IBM® i Service Entry Points view, do the following:

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the IBM i Service Entry Points view is open. Instructions for opening this view can be found in Managing service entry points in the IBM i Service Entry Points view.
  2. In this view, select the service entry point that you wish to modify and do one of the following:
    • Choose the Modify service entry point push button ( Modify service entry point push button).
    • Right-click the service entry point and choose Modify from the pop-up menu.
  3. If desired, change the value of the Module field entry. If this field is set to *ALL, the service entry point will apply to the entire program or service program for which it was set.
    Note: The Module and Procedure selection lists in this dialog can be modified by clicking the up arrow next to the field. Choosing this opens the Work With History dialog, which allows you to remove items in or modify the order of the selection list.
  4. If a module is specified in the Module field, you can specify a procedure or modify the existing procedure in which to set the service entry point. To do this, select, enter, or browse for the procedure in which you want to set the service entry point.
  5. If desired, change the value of the User ID field. This field indicates the user ID whose job will trigger the service entry point. For further information about user ID profile considerations, see the related topic below.
  6. Click OK to modify the service entry point.

Results

Trying to modify a service entry point can result in a conflict with another service entry point that is already set. If you attempt to do this, you will be prompted via dialog to remove the existing service entry point. For further information about conflicts when setting service entry points, see the related topic below.

Modifying a service entry point causes a refresh of the existing service entry points. This might result in the removal of one or more service entry points, if they turn out to be invalid. See the related topic below.
