Deactivate a Communication Route

If you deactivate a VTAM path that the communications server is using, you need to deactivate the VTAM communication route 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 defined in the example shown previously, 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 specifically 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.
