Shutting down the CSL ODBM

You can shut down ODBM by using one of several methods.

The options to shut down ODBM include:
  • The system operator can use a z/OS® STOP command: 
    P odbmjobname
    odbmjobname is the job name of the ODBM address space to stop.
  • Issue the CSL SHUTDOWN command, which can shut down either a CSL on one z/OS image or an entire IMSplex.
  • Issue the CSLZSHUT request. CSLZSHUT is a programming interface that an assembler program can issue to shut down one or more CSL address spaces.
If no clients are connected to ODBM, ODBM shuts down. If clients are connected to ODBM, message CSL0300I is issued, and ODBM quiesces in-flight work. After all work is quiesced, the ODBM address space terminates.

Before shutting down an ODBM, consider the reasons for shutting down and how shutting down ODBM can impact other IMSplex members.
