Re: Reclaiming Activation Groups.

I have a question about reclaiming an activation group on a job other than my own.

Can it be done?

Say I have a program that I wrote that is using a named activation group. And then I make a change to that program during the day and I need the users to pick up this change. The only way to do this is to reclaim the activation group in their job. But the user doesn't have command line access to do this, and that isn't something you want to be telling the users to do. It isn't very user friendly. So what I'm wondering is... Can I write a program to reclaim the activation group across all the jobs so that when the user calls the program the next time then it will get the right version? How do other's handle this situation.

My project structure looks like this...

OPM Program calls RPGLE Program that has a named Activation Group --> RPGLE Pgm calls modules in a service program. --> Module in Service Program calls RPGLE Pgm with Activation *New (recursive BOM)

If I change the recursive BOM program and recompile I don't see the changes until I reclaim activation group of the RPGLE Pgm that is in the Named activation group.
I hope this is clear enough.

Thanks
