  • Method and apparatus for configuring a control program nucleus with a minimum impact on system availabiltiy
    Patent number: 5257376
    Abstract: A system for reconfiguring a multiple user VM computing system is described. A CMS source file is used to generate new nucleus system definitions for a control program of an operating VM system. The CMS source file is edited and converted to a tag entry format for use in a diagnose interface. Using the diagnose interface, an override disk under control of the control program may be updated with new override data. In a subsequent system IPL, or upon issuance of an OVERRIDE command with the IMMEDIATE option from the CMS application, the newly-stored data from the CP override DASD may be loaded in the control program memory.
