(MIM) DEACTIVATE Command-Disable Selectable Feature

The DEACTIVATE command terminates operation of a selectable feature on all systems in the CA MIM complex.

Scope: Global

This command has the following format:

DEACTIVATE FEATURE=(featname, [FORCE])

featname: The name of the feature to be deactivated; for a list of the supported features, see the FEATURE parameter on the MIMINIT statement, or issue the DISPLAY FEATURES command to get a list from the active MIMplex.
FORCE: (Optional) Tells CA MIM to ignore the lack of responses from any inactive or non-existent systems when processing an ACTIVATE command request.
Usage Notes: DEACTIVATE Command

If any active MIMplex members reject the named feature, or if any defined system fails to respond, then the DEACTIVATE command is rejected. Causes for this failure are if the system is inactive or if the system does not exist. When DEACTIVATE is rejected from inactive, or non-existent systems then the feature remains active. Include the FORCE operand on the DEACTIVATE command.
The FORCE keyword is not honored when an active system fails to respond, or an active system specifically rejects the specified feature.
Once the requested FEATURE has been deactivated in the MIMplex, the installation must ensure that the corresponding MIMINIT FEATURE=featname statement is removed from the MIMINIT member of the MIMPARMS data set.
Important! Failure to specify this operand prevents CA MIM from joining the MIMplex on any subsequent CA MIM address space restart until the MIMINIT FEATURE parameter is removed.
