Processes seem not to have been killed on previous UNIX domain manager after running switchmgr
You want to use the switch manager facility. You first stop all IBM Workload Scheduler processes on the domain manager and then you run switchmgr, which completes successfully. However, after running %sc @!@, the J flag state is given for the domain manager where you stopped the processes.
Cause and solution:
When a shutdown command is sent to a workstation,
some unexpected output might be shown by the status of the processes
shown by conman, as follows:
- The J flag relative to the shut workstation remains active (no message indicating that jobman is not running can be transmitted because mailman is also not running).
- Conman output on the shutdown workstation is not up-to-date (the Symphony file is not updated on the shutdown workstation).
- The shutdown workstation seems linked from its parent and child workstations (no unlink operation is run by the writers on the workstation that is shutting down).
- Both F or L flags might be displayed, depending on the messages processed by mailman before unlinking and stopping.
The shutdown command must be sent only in critical situations (where a workstation is shutting down, for example).
To avoid these problems, precede the shutdown command with an unlink @!@ or stop command.
