SET BRFACILITY

Release a virtual terminal (bridge facility) used by the 3270 bridge mechanism.

Syntax

Warning: System commands are powerful as they provide information about the state of the system and allow changes to be made to it. System commands should be used only by authorized applications and users.

Activate security checks on commands by specifying the XCMD system initialization parameter and by ensuring that command security checking is active for the transaction (either by specifying CMDSEC(YES) on the TRANSACTION resource definition or by specifying ALWAYS on the CMDSEC system initialization parameter).

NOHANDLE, RESP, and RESP2 are common options that can be added to all EXEC CICS commands to process error conditions. They are not explicitly included in the command syntax diagram and option descriptions. For information about these common options and EXEC CICS command syntax, see EXEC CICS command format and programming considerations. For more information about the use of CVDAs, see CICS-value data areas (CVDAs).

Description

The SET BRFACILITY command allows you to request deletion of the virtual terminal (bridge facility) used by the 3270 bridge mechanism.

If a transaction is currently running, the bridge facility will be deleted at the end of the transaction. If the bridge facility is currently AVAILABLE, the facility will be deleted at the next garbage clearance.

When a bridge facility is released, the delete function of the XFAINTU global user exit is driven.

Note: Bridge facilities are deleted only in the region in which the command is issued. Bridge facilities can exist in both router and AOR regions. This command deletes the facility in the region on which it is issued. It does not affect the other region, but this means that the bridge facility can no longer be used. However in order to free up the storage occupied by a bridge facility this command should be issued in both regions. This command can only be issued in the router or AOR region where the bridge facility was created.
