Stopping the global processor

Before stopping the global, you should stop the local mains as described in “Stopping Local Mains”.

You should stop all JES3 processing by entering the *F,Q,H command, which puts all jobs in hold status before stopping JES3. System initiators, printers, and punches do not begin any new work and become inactive after completing their current activity. Jobs in JES3 queues remain in their current position.

You should also queue the system log for printing by entering the WRITELOG command. This prevents log messages from being lost if you later restart JES3 with a hot start.

Once all system activity has completed, enter the *RETURN command to end JES3.

                         +-(----fssname-+--)-+     
                         +-ALL---------------+     
                         '-NONE--------------'     

FSS=fssname or (fssname [,fssname...]) or ALL or NONE

Specifies that a specific functional subsystem (fssname), several functional subsystems (fssname [,fssname...]), all functional subsystems (ALL), or no functional subsystems (NONE) are to be ended also. (This command is valid only when entered from the global.)

If FSS= is not specified, the status of the functional subsystems depends upon the value defined in the TERM= parameter of the FSSDEF initialization statement. For additional information about TERM=, see Functional subsystem considerations below.

After you enter the *RETURN command, enter the HALT EOD command to ensure that important statistics and data records in storage are not permanently lost. As a result of this command, the internal I/O device error counts are stored in the SYS1.LOGREC data set; the SMF buffers are emptied onto one of the SYS1.MANx data sets; and the system log, if still active, is closed and put on the print queue. When these actions are complete, the system issues message IEE334I, stating that the HALT EOD operation was successful. See z/OS MVS System Commands for further information about stopping MVS™.
