Stopping an ISC link in IMS Connect
You can stop an ISC link in IMS Connect, but avoid doing so unless the ISC link did not clean up properly after the link was terminated in IMS or you need to prevent sessions from starting on the ISC link.
Under normal circumstances, stop ISC links from IMS by using the IMS type-1 command /QUIESCE NODE, which terminates the ISC link after any in-progress work completes. If the link must be terminated immediately without waiting for in-progress work to complete, use the IMS type-1 command /CLSDST NODE.
To stop an ISC link in a local instance of IMS Connect:
Procedure
Issue the IMS type-2
format command UPDATE IMSCON TYPE(ISC) NAME(iscstmtid)
STOP(COMM) in the local IMS Connect
instance.
In response to the command, IMS Connect
takes the following action:
- Stops communication on the specified ISC link, including communications on all the ISC sessions that are assigned to the link.
- Closes the associated send and receive sockets.
- Informs IMS that communication has stopped on the ISC link so that IMS can also terminate the link and any sessions that are assigned to the link.
- Changes the status of the ISC link and its assigned logical links to NOT ACTIVE.
- Issues message HWSG4005I.
Tip: Use the QUERY IMSCON TYPE(ISC) command to
display information about the ISC links that are defined to IMS Connect.
