(MIM) QUIESCE Command-Temporarily Inactivate CA MIM

The QUIESCE command lets you temporarily inactivate CA MIM (that is, put CA MIM in a wait state) without having to stop it.

Scope: Local

This command has the following format:

QUIESCE

Usage Notes: QUIESCE Command

• Quiesce CA MIM before you quiesce the operating system. Restart the operating system before you restart CA MIM.
• If you quiesce a system, then do not issue a FREE command for that system. Other systems eventually consider the quiesced system to be asleep.
• To reactivate CA MIM after you have issued the QUIESCE command, use the RESTART command.
• You must be authorized to issue system control commands to issue the QUIESCE command. TSO users generally are not authorized to issue system control commands.
• The QUIESCE command must be issued from a console or a TSO session. You cannot issue this command from the CA MIM parameter data set.
• Be sure to issue the CA MIM QUIESCE command with a command prefix character or with the z/OS MODIFY command so that CA MIM, rather than z/OS, executes your command.
• For more information on quiescing z/OS and CA MIM, see the CA MIM Programming Guide.

Example: QUIESCE Command

To quiesce CA MIM, issue this command from a console:

@QUIESCE

The at-sign character (@) represents the CA MIM command prefix character.

membername
