Stop Conditions

The following conditions must both be satisfied in order for CA Spool to stop.

1. The network interface must be stopped using one of the following methods:
   • Issue the PNET command, which is the normal way to stop the network interface.
   • Issue the TNET command, which can be used if the interface must be stopped immediately. Be aware that all active network sessions are interrupted.
2. All files must be closed using one of the following methods:
   • Issue the SHUTDOWN command to enable applications with open files to complete before CA Spool stops. No applications are allowed to open files after this.
   • Issue the SHUTDOWN,F command to stop CA Spool regardless of open files.
   • MVS STOP command

     P esf
     

     esf is the name of the procedure used to start the CA Spool system. In some installation-specific cases this may not be ESF. This is the same as entering the SHUTDOWN,F command to stop CA Spool regardless of open files.
