/SHUTDOWN Usage Notes

Shutdown is normally issued from an online terminal. You can issue the command from a batch terminal, if necessary. Shutdown is not supported from a trailer terminal (SASSTRLR or U7SVC) or by the TSO/ISPF interface.

For online terminals, a verification process is required before shutdown can occur. After the /SHUTDOWN command is entered, CA Workload Automation SE is put in a shutdown status. The terminal that entered the shutdown receives a message indicating the options that are entered for the shutdown. If the displayed options are correct, press Enter for the shutdown to occur. If the options are not correct, the /SHUTDOWN command can be changed and reentered. When two /SHUTDOWN commands with the same options are entered consecutively, CA Workload Automation SE shuts down.

If you specified a default shutdown type in the initialization file, you can enter the /SHUTDOWN command without any parameters. The default option is selected for normal termination of CA Workload Automation SE.

If a batch terminal requested the shutdown, only one SHUTDOWN command is required to shut down the system.

If a console (DEVICE=CONSL) enters the /SHUTDOWN command, the operator must enter the command a second time for verification for the shutdown to occur.

While in the shutdown mode (and until Enter is pressed or two /SHUTDOWN commands with the same options are entered), other terminals entering commands receive the following message:

CA-7.010 UNIDENTIFIED COMMAND

The terminal that entered the /SHUTDOWN command is allowed to enter certain slash (/) commands (/LOGOFF, /DISPLAY, and so on) between the "consecutive" /SHUTDOWN commands. If an invalid command is entered while CA Workload Automation SE is in shutdown mode, the terminal receives an error message stating that the command must be /SHUTDOWN. CA Workload Automation SE can be shut down without terminating ICOM when CA Workload Automation SE controlled jobs are still active in OS. However, if CA Workload Automation SE is to be down for a long time, we recommend that you stop ICOM.
