Issue/Introduction

Currently, at shutdown OPS/MVS is bringing non-SSM resources down prematurely.
How to exclude tasks/resources that are started outside of SSM from the shutdown process?

Environment

Release : 13.5

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution

The option SHUTSYS of the SSM pseudo command invokes the REXX program SHUTSYS1 which calls the REXX SHUTSYS2.

The SHUTSYS2 program has an exclusion list where you can name the non-SSM controlled tasks that should not be stopped.
The specific section where this is setup is:

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/ 
/* Create the exclusion variables. These variables contain the        */ 
/* list of non-SSM controlled resources that should not be stopped.   */ 
/*                                                                    */ 
/* Exclude_ALL variable will contain globally excluded resources      */ 
/*             (across all systems)                                   */ 
/* !!!!! Be sure to include a comma if adding a new line .!!!!!!!!    */ 
/* !!!!! The last data line of course does not need a comma. !!!!!    */ 
/*--+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7*/
