CICSCMD PERFORM SHUTDOWN—Shut Down Region

The CICSCMD PERFORM SHUTDOWN command shuts down a CICS region. The RCIW17 message acknowledges the shutdown request. The function is similar to that provided by the CICS CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN transaction.

This command has the following format:

CICSCMDcics_region_name PERFORM SHUTDOWN [IMMEDIATE | TAKEOVER] [DUMP]
cics_region_name

Defines the CICS region to be shut down.

IMMEDIATE | TAKEOVER

(Optional) Specifies the shutdown option. If you do not specify any value, the region (and the alternate CICS region if it exists) is shut down normally.

IMMEDIATE

Shuts down the region immediately.

TAKEOVER

Shuts down the region to let the alternate CICS region take over.

DUMP

(Optional) Produces a storage dump when shutdown completes.

Example:

CICSCMD CICSA PERFORM SHUTDOWN

CICSCMD CICSA PERFORM SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE DUMP
