Purpose: The TASK command can be used to Enable, Disable, or list the DIF subtasks.

Syntax:
ENABLE TASK {tasknames}   
DISABLE TASK {tasknames}        
Comments: The Dynamic Install Facility (DIF) has several subtasks that perform various functions for DIF.
Important: If one of the subtasks fails, the ENABLE TASK command can be used to reactivate the subtask. If the subtask is already active when ENABLE TASK is requested, the current subtask will be detached and then restarted.

The DISABLE TASK command can be used to terminate a subtask. The subtasks can be listed by specifying TASK without operands.

The following subtasks are available:
  • ASTCP: supports TCPIP connections
  • ASMQS: supports MQSeries connections
  • APPC: supports APPC/TCPIP/SYSTEM-LOGGER connections
  • CPUCHK: provides warning messages about approaching product license problems
  • DASD: gathers performance information for DASD
  • ENF: an interface with the Event Notification Facility
  • PRINT: writes messages and records to files in DIF
  • RULES: performs cleanup functions for rules refresh

Examples: To restart the PRINT subtask, use the following console command:

F DIF,E TASK PRINT
