DEACTIVATE Command

The DEACTIVATE command deactivates a VTAM communication route.

Syntax

DEActivate route

Operand

Explanation

route

Identifies the ACB name of CA‑L‑Serv on the target system. This ACB name must be the same ACB name that was specified on the ATTACH COMMSERVER command on the target system.

Note: DEACTIVATE commands are usually issued from consoles, rather than from the CA‑L‑Serv parameter data set. When you deactivate a route and then reactivate it (using ACTIVATE), the RETRY and RETRMAX values are set to the default value of zero unless you specify otherwise on the ACTIVATE command.

Example

To deactivate the communication route between system 1 and system 2 (where the CA‑L‑Serv ACB name on system 2 is ACBSYS2), issue this command on system 1:

DEACTIVATE ACBSYS2
