External Product Interface › Shut Down the EPI

Shut Down the EPI

To shut down the EPI facility, do one of the following:

• Log off each active virtual terminal.
• Disable all virtual terminals.

The procedure to log off a virtual terminal that is in session with an external product depends on the external product. For example, to log off from TSO, you must get to TSO READY mode, and then type in the TSO LOGOFF command at the virtual terminal.

A quick shutdown can be accomplished by merely disabling all virtual terminals with the EPI command:

DISABLE ALL

This action takes all virtual terminals out of service.

Note: The DISABLE ALL command should be used with caution. One or more of your external products can require a proper logoff sequence before a virtual terminal is disabled.
