Shutting Down Services

Shutting Down Services

Shutting down CA Datacom CICS Services can be accomplished in either of the following ways:

• Automatically through execution of the PLT entry when CICS is brought down (first quiesce stage)
• Manually through issuing the SHUTDOWN command in a DBOC or DBEC transaction at anytime while in a CICS session.

  Note: To reinitiate CA Datacom CICS Services after DBOC SHUTDOWN has been issued, the user designated as the master operator (in DBCVTPR) may enter the DBOC STARTUP command or DBEC PERFORM,STARTUP.

We recommend that you include the PLT entry contained on the release tape during installation of CA Datacom CICS Services, so that CA Datacom CICS Services is shut down automatically under normal conditions.

Note: z/VSE systems using the CA Datacom/DB Multi-Guest Sharing option or non-shared VAE configuration, must close all User Requirements Tables (URTs) prior to shutting down CA Datacom CICS Services either manually or automatically. If any URTs are open when CA Datacom CICS Services shuts down in a z/VSE system with one of these configurations, CICS abends.
