Shutting down the Job Optimizer Pipes Subsystem

F MBOP,SHUT TYPE=[NORMAL|FORCE],SCOPE=[LOCAL|GLOBAL]

The TYPE parameter values are:

• Normal - requests that the Job Optimizer Pipes Subsystem perform normal termination

  During normal termination, Job Optimizer Pipes first switches to Draining mode. Under Draining mode, all active jobs and applications that are using the Job Optimizer Pipes services are allowed to terminate their processes, but no new jobs or applications are accepted and no new pipes are defined. When no more active jobs and applications are active, Job Optimizer Pipes terminates. While operating in this mode, you can perform other commands (such as Display), request forced termination, or cancel the shutdown request and resume standard operation.

• FORCE - forces Job Optimizer Pipes to terminate immediately, which causes abends to all the participants that are currently using its services

After a few seconds, the Job Optimizer Pipes address space starts its termination process and the following message is displayed:

BMC282113I SHUT DOWN UPON REQUEST FROM OPERATOR

If normal termination was requested and any jobs or applications are using Job Optimizer Pipes services, Job Optimizer Pipes displays the active pipes and participants and issues the following message:

BMC282120A TO CONTINUE TERMINATION, REPLY 'R'- RETRY, 'A'- ABORT, 'W'- WAIT, OR 'F'- FORCE

You can cancel the shutdown request (A), force termination (F), wait until all participants terminate (W), or manually cancel the participants and tell Job Optimizer Pipes to retry termination ®).

When the termination is concluded, the following message is displayed on the console:

BMC282103I JOB OPTIMIZER PIPES SHUTTING DOWN

In an emergency, the Job Optimizer Pipes address space can be canceled. However, this action is not recommended because it might not release all resources (for example, CSA storage) that are held by the Job Optimizer Pipes address space.
