Modify an existing <%=vars.product_name%> resource.

-   **[alter async-event-queue](#topic_alter_async_event_queue)**

    Modifies attributes of an async event queue

-   **[alter disk-store](#topic_99BCAD98BDB5470189662D2F308B68EB)**

    Modifies or removes a region from an offline disk-store.

-   **[alter region](#topic_E74ED23CB60342538B2175C326E7D758)**

    Alters the configuration of a region.

-   **[alter runtime](#topic_7E6B7E1B972D4F418CB45354D1089C2B)**

    Alters configuration properties for all members or a subset of members while the member or members are running.

## <a id="topic_alter_async_event_queue" class="no-quick-link"></a>alter async-event-queue

Alter attributes of a specified asynchronous event queue. Each server hosting the specified async event queue must be restarted for the new attribute
settings to take effect on that server.

**Availability:** Online. You must be connected in <span class="keyword parmname">gfsh</span> to a JMX Manager member to use this command.

**Syntax:**

``` pre
alter async-event-queue --id=value [--batch-size=value] [--batch-time-interval=value]
    [--max-queue-memory=value] [--if-exists(=value)] [--pause-event-processing(=value)]
```

The required option, `--id`, identifies the async event queue to be altered.

**Parameters, alter async-event-queue**

| Name | Description |
|------|-------------|
| &#8209;&#8209;id   | _Required._ ID of the async event queue to be changed |
| &#8209;&#8209;batch&#8209;size | Maximum number of events that a batch can contain |
| &#8209;&#8209;batch&#8209;time&#8209;interval | Maximum amount of time, in ms, that can elapse before a batch is delivered |
| &#8209;&#8209;max&#8209;queue&#8209;memory | Maximum amount of memory, in megabytes, that the queue can consume before overflowing to disk |
| &#8209;&#8209;if&#8209;exists | If the specified async event queue does not exist, gfsh responds with a message to that effect. If this parameter is true, the response is prefixed with the label "Skipping: ". Useful for scripted tests. Default (if the parameter is not specified): false. Default (if the parameter is specified without value): true. |
| &#8209;&#8209;pause&#8209;event&#8209;processing | Specifies whether event dispatching from the queue to the listener(s) will be paused when the AsyncEventQueue is started. Default (if the parameter is not specified): false. Default (if the parameter is specified without value): true.

**Example Commands:**

``` pre
alter async-event-queue --id=myAsyncEventQueue --batch-size=50 --if-exists
```

## <a id="topic_99BCAD98BDB5470189662D2F308B68EB" class="no-quick-link"></a>alter disk-store

Modify or remove a region from an offline disk-store.

When modifying a region's configuration, it is customary to take the region off-line and restart using the new configuration. You can use the `alter disk-store` command to change the configuration of the region stored in the disk-store to match the configuration you will use at restart.

**Availability:** Offline.

**Syntax:**

``` pre
alter disk-store --name=value --region=value --disk-dirs=value(,value)*
    [--compressor(=value)] [--concurrency-level=value]
    [--enable-statistics=value] [--initial-capacity=value] [--load-factor=value]
    [--lru-algorithm=value] [--lru-action=value] [--lru-limit=value]
    [--off-heap(=value)] [--remove(=value)]
```

The three required options, `--name`, `--region`, and `--disk-dirs`, identify the disk store and region to be altered. If no additional options are specified, `gfsh` displays the current configuration without making any changes.

**Parameters, alter disk-store**

## <a id="topic_7E6B7E1B972D4F418CB45354D1089C2B" class="no-quick-link"></a>alter runtime

Alters configuration properties for all members or a subset of members while the member or members are running.

For more information on these configuration properties, see [cache.xml](../../../reference/topics/chapter_overview_cache_xml.html#cache_xml) and configuration parameter reference.

**Availability:** Online. You must be connected in `gfsh` to a JMX Manager member to use this command.

**Syntax:**

``` pre
alter runtime [--members=value(,value)*] [--groups=value(,value)*]
    [--archive-disk-space-limit=value]
    [--archive-file-size-limit=value] [--log-disk-space-limit=value]
