Deactivate MSF Sessions

You can deactivate an MSF session between the local system and any remote system.

To deactivate your MSF session

1. Issue the MSF DEACTIVATE command through either of these methods:
   • From an OPS/REXX program
   • From a console using the OPSMSF command rule in the sample libraries
2. Use the following syntax for the MSF DEACTIVATE command:

   ADDRESS OPSCTL "MSF DEACTIVATE keywords"
   

   For detailed descriptions of the keywords for the MSF DEACTIVATE command, see the Command and Function Reference.

After an MSF session is deactivated, you cannot issue cross-system commands between the two systems involved in the MSF session, and unsolicited messages are not passed between the two systems. If any commands were in progress, they are aborted with a message showing that the MSF session was deactivated.
