Checking CA VM:Director Activity Before Stopping

Before you stop CA VM:Director, check who is using the system by entering the QPCB command.

vmdirect qpcb

This command lists the currently active processes and the commands they are executing.

Occasionally a user ID has an active process that prevents either a graceful shutdown of CA VM:Director, or a shutdown within a reasonable amount of time. When CA VM:Director takes longer to stop than you think is reasonable after you enter the END command, check which user ID has a lock on an object. Object locks indicate that something is still processing.

You can check for activity by entering the QLOCK command.

vmdirect qlock

This command lists all commands that are holding locks, the kinds of locks they are holding, and the objects on which they are holding locks. To correlate these commands with the user IDs that are running them, enter the QPCB command (see above) and match the commands with the currently active processes they are executing.
