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
- 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.
- 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
(
).
- Right-click the service entry point and choose Modify from
the pop-up menu.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
