STOP

The STOP command stops any interface subtask (for example, OMEGAMON® for IMS VTAM® support) that might not be functioning, due to a problem such as a terminal error.

The system console operator usually enters the STOP command by using the z/OS® MODIFY command. The STOP command needs a task ID to know which task to stop. To find this ID, use the DISPLAY or LIST command.

Format

F M0IMSA,STOP ID=cccccccc

where cccccccc is the interface subtask. If you are stopping OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support, then cccccccc is the logon applid for OMEGAMON for IMS to VTAM that you specified by using PARMGEN.

Synonym

P is a synonym for STOP.

OUTPUT

The output from the STOP command is one or more task termination messages followed by a task detached message. If the task does not promptly honor the interface request for termination, the interface detaches it.

Stopping VTAM tasks

Sessions that run under OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support do not have an interface task ID that you can use to stop them. You can use VTAM commands to detach an individual session that runs under OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support.

The commands you enter from a z/OS console are:

V NET,INACT,I,ID=sluname

and

V NET,ACT,ID=sluname

The first command causes OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support to stop the task that runs at that secondary logical unit (or terminal). The message NODE NOW INACTIVE appears to indicate that OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support removed the task.

Wait until OMEGAMON for IMS VTAM support removes the task before you issue the second command. The second command makes the terminal available for use again by VTAM.

Note: If you use the STOP command in the format for RTA, the buckets are not cleared.
