Issue/Introduction

What is the difference between a Top Secret CPF NODE in STOPPED versus INACTIVE?

Resolution

An administrator can issue the CPF STOP command and place the node in STOPPED status:
F TSS,CPFNODE(node=STOP)
Issue the CPF STATUS command to see the status of the node:
CPFNODE(node)   Status(STOPPED,NOSPOOL)
The node is now in STOPPED status and no commands will be sent to it from other nodes.
To make the node ACTIVE, issue the CPF START command:
F TSS,CPFNODE(node=START)

If a Node becomes INACTIVE, the NODE needs to be STOPPED and then RESTARTED for the node to become ACTIVE. Once Active, any commands held in the CPF RECOVERY FILE will then be sent to the NODE.
F TSS,CPFNODE(node=STOP)
F TSS,CPFNODE(node=START)

When a NODE is INACTIVE, commands from other nodes continue to be sent.  This could fill up the CPF RECOVERY FILE.
If the CPR RECOVERY FILE becomes full the following message will be received:
TSS9803W NO FREE RECORDS ON CPF RECOVERY FILE
Records can be removed node:
TSS REMOVE(*CPFRECV) CPFNODE(node1,node2) 
RECORDS can also be removed by date:
TSS REMOVE(*CPFRECV) UNTIL(mm/dd/yy)
