INGCF MAINT

Purpose

The MAINT function of the INGCF command is intended to put a coupling facility into or take it out of maintenance mode.

After the corresponding XCF command has been processed the command issues the INGCF command without any positional parameters.

Restrictions

The function requires:
  • At least one system in the SA z/OS® sysplex must run z/OS 1.9, or later.
  • The MAINT function must be supported by all SA z/OS applications that are involved in command processing.

Example

In the following example, a coupling facility is put into maintenance mode using the command INGCF M cf_name MODE=ON OUTMODE=LINE:
