JBS DEACTIVATE

This command deactivates a binding agent either globally or in a particular system.

Scope: JES2 Node

Duration: Permanent effect.

Requests the command syntax from HELP.

Represents a two level binding agent name. If the Agent is not active, the operator is informed.

The Binding Agent must have been defined with the PERM attribute, unless the FORCE keyword is used.

This keyword requests that a PERMANENT Binding Agent be completely Deactivated. This is to be used only in situations where the status of a given Permanent Agent is uncertain and deactivation is desired.

This keyword forces the deactivation of Binding Agents regardless of their attributes. It deactivates Permanent and Job-related Binding Agents. In the case of Job-related Binding Agents, this occurs while the job that activated the Agent is still executing.

Deactivating Binding Agents using FORCE is not a normal situation; however, it may be warranted under certain circumstances. An example may be an ONLINE region that has, in  its JECL, activated the "wrong" Agent. Under normal circumstances, to deactivate the Agent requires that the region be brought down. This may not be appropriate for an ONLINE region. The JBS DEACTIVATE command with the FORCE keyword can be used to address the situation.

Indicates that the resource to be deactivated must have been activated with the GLOBAL attri- bute. If that is not the case, the operator is informed, and no action is taken.

This keyword indicates that the named Agent is to be deactivated if it originally was activated as LOCAL and in the same system as indicated by the parameter "system".

If this keyword is not provided then the "system" is assumed to be the same as the one where the command was issued.

• system - Represents the 4-character JES2 system-id.

This keyword indicates that the named Agent is to be deactivated if it was activated with the XMIT attribute.
