How to Stop the Product

After CA OPS/MVS is in production, you usually stop it only when you want to stop z/OS (for example, for a scheduled IPL). Typically, sites entrust the job of bringing down all z/OS subsystems and then z/OS itself to CA OPS/MVS, including the job of stopping CA OPS/MVS as its own final action.

Although you may issue either the z/OS STOP command or the z/OS CANCEL command to stop CA OPS/MVS, we recommend that you use the z/OS STOP command. Regardless of the command you use, address it to the CA OPS/MVS subsystem ID rather than to its started task name.

The following table shows variations of the z/OS STOP and z/OS CANCEL commands and the result of each. The examples use the subsystem ID OPSS.
