Refreshing destinations from Output collector

You can use the MODIFY operator commands to display and refresh HTTP/HTTPS destinations also from Output collector.

You can refresh or display HCL Workload Automation Agent destinations while Output collector is running, without having to stop and restart Output collector to make the changes effective. To do so, run the TSO commands:

/F procname, DSPDEST to display
/F procname, RFRDEST to add, modify, or delete

where in procname you can enter the JCL procedure name for Output collector instead of the one for the controller.

If you run /F procname, RFRDEST with the procname for the controller, the refresh operation is run on the controller and propagated also to Output collector.

Be aware that any changes you make using the procedure name for the controller apply also to Output collector, while they are not extended to the controller if you use the procedure name for Output collector.
