Deactivate a Communication Route

If you deactivate a VTAM path that the communications server is using, deactivate the VTAM communication route that is associated with that path by deactivating one of the nodes that define the route. Use the DEACTIVATE command to deactivate a node. On the DEACTIVATE command, specify the name of the node corresponding to the route that you want to deactivate.

For example, to deactivate the route that is defined in the previous example, issue this DEACTIVATE command on SYS01:

DEACTIVATE P02

Or issue this DEACTIVATE command on SYS02:

DEACTIVATE P01

Note: When you use the DEACTIVATE command, the RETRY and RETRMAX values for the route are set to zero. This prevents attempts to reactivate a route that has been deactivated. When you reactivate the route using the ACTIVATE command, if you do not manually set these values, they default to the values defined on the ATTACH command.
