Shutting Down CA 7 Using The Batch Terminal Interface

Products

• CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

I am trying to set up a SASSBSTR job to issue /SHUTDOWN,Z3.  Why am I receiving this error message? 

SCM2-10 /SHUTDOWN MAY BE ENTERED FROM CA-7 MASTER TERMINAL ONLY.

Environment

Release:12.0, 12.1 

Resolution

The /SHUTDOWN command requires the batch terminal issuing the command must be defined as either master or alternate console.

Below is an example of defining a batch terminal as an alternate console in the CA 7  Initialization File.   

GROUP,NAME=BTERM01,DEVICE=BATCH,LNAME=BLINE1 
LINE,NAME=BLINE1,BUFSIZE=3120,TNAME=BTERM1 
TERM,NAME=BTERM1,DEVICE=BATCH,NLINE=60,LINLEN=137,CONS=ALTRN        <---(CONS=ALTRN or MASTR)

CA 7 will need to be brought down and restarted with TYPE=ERST to implement this change. 

The SASSBSTR job that performs the shutdown needs to include the PARM=n  (ex.  PARM=1 for BTERM1)  on the EXEC statement to ensure it is routed to the batch terminal defined as MASTR or ALTRN (unless all BTERMn are set up this way).
