Gracefully Stop RECYCLE

The RECYCLE function is used to consolidate fragmented Backstore physical tapes. It is a batch utility submitted on any LPAR where CA Vtape is running.

You can gracefully stop the utility by issuing a modify command for the job such as the following:

F jobname,END

Or, issue a stop command such as the following:

P jobname

In this instance, jobname is the name of the RECYCLE job that is running.

The utility will finish processing the Virtual Volume in progress at the time the command is issued and then stop.
