COMM (Communicate with Multi-User Facility) › COMM EOJ (End Multi-User Facility Processing) › Processing of EOJ Requests

Processing of EOJ Requests

The COMM EOJ option informs the Multi-User Facility that processing is to end. After receiving an EOJ request, the Multi-User Facility does not allow any new jobs to start processing. Multi-User allows jobs in progress to continue. The Multi-User Facility goes to EOJ when the last job completes. A job is considered complete when all open User Requirements Tables have been closed. When the Multi-User Facility is terminated an EOJ report is written to the SYSLST file. The report contains information about:

• An echo of Multi-User startup options
• Memory Resident Data Facility Summary Information
• Accounting Facility Summary Information
• TCB Use Summary Information
• Miscellaneous Diagnostic Information
• Also provided, as shown in EOJ Reports, are the following:
  • Procedure TCB Use Summary Information
  • Procedure Summary Information
  • Return Code Summary Information
  • SQL Code Summary Information
  • Memory Use Summary Information
  • MUF EOJ Log Status Information
  • Other Information

  In addition, be aware of the following:

  • The Log Area (LXX) Output report (see Sample Report: REPORT LXX)
  • The Detail Report for Reprocessed Requests (in the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide, see the chapter on restarting the Multi-User Facility)
  • The Detail Report for Active Transactions (in the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide, see the chapter on restarting the Multi-User Facility)

No other COMM function, except the COMM EOJOFF console command, is accepted by the Multi-User Facility after this option is initiated. Once an EOJ request is accepted by the Multi-User Facility, the request can only be canceled with the COMM EOJOFF command. Unless EOJOFF is used, the Multi-User Facility must be allowed to complete termination processing. See the CA Datacom/DB Database and System Administration Guide for details about using EOJOFF. After the Multi-User Facility is started again, new jobs can be executed.

Online systems must initiate a close request for each User Requirements Table opened.
