Stopping RUV activity immediately


Use the RUV DISABLE command with extreme caution to stop activity in the RUV components immediately. The command causes an immediate end to all current Batch Journaling Facility and BWO processes that are in-flight and prevents any new processes from being started.

Warning

RUV is unable to protect your data if the RUV components of the subsystem are disabled. The RUV DISABLE command causes active logs and journals to be terminated immediately. The incomplete logs and journals cannot be registered in the RUV repository. It is recommended that you use extreme caution in using this command.

To issue the command at the z/OS console, use the following format:

ssid RUV DISABLE [ ALL | LOGGING | BACKUP ]

One of the following keywords is required:

  • ALL
    Disable all components.
  • LOGGING
    Disable logging components (the Batch Journaling Facility).
  • BACKUP
    Disable backup components (the BWO feature).
