Robert,
You should be able to update your system dynamically by making your changes
to the ESOTERICs and then issue the z/OS command - "ACTIVATE IODF=XX,SOFT"
This does imply that you built a new IODF that is different from your
current IODF but you do not need to actually rebuild a new IOCDS. However,
you should build a new IOCDS/IODF in preparation for your next (planned, I
hope) IML and/or IPL and/or POR of your system. The EDT is only (re)built at
IPL time and as a result of the ACTIVATE command.
You could also build a new IOCDS and IODF and use the activate command as
follows:
ACTIVATE IODF=XX,ACTIOCDS=YY,FORCE=(DEVICE,CANDIDATE)
Now, both your IOCDS and IODF will be in sync. Since your only change was to
the EDT, this should not be a problem.

Subject: Updating the Esoteric Table
Hi All. Is there a way to update the ESOTERIC table dynamically without
building a new
SYS1.IODF##? If a device is NOT in the ESOTERIC table is it accessible with
JCL or will you get invalid device? We are OS/390 V2R10. Once again I thank
the group.
