/SHUTDOWN,Z1                                              
SCM2-11 BATCH RUN IN PROGRESS.        /SHUTDOWN IGNORED.
  

 

Environment

Release:
Component: 7

Resolution

If you change your shutdown procedure for CA 7  from a SHUTDOWN,Z1 to a SHUTDOWN,Z3.

Z3 will cause CA 7 to shutdown immediately even if online and/or batch type terminals are active and in use, it will terminate with a RC=8.

Basically, Z3 shutdown kills batch terminals in use.

 

Full list of options of shutdown are as follows:

Z1

Specifies a "fast" shutdown of CA 7. Messages are not sent to the individual terminals. CA 7 does not wait for them to log out but waits for batch type terminals to complete (this process includes CAICCI terminals).

Z2

Specifies that shutdown is to occur even if batch type terminals are still active, but the shutdown waits for online terminals to log out.

Z3

Specifies that shutdown is to occur even if online terminals, batch type terminals, or both are active.
