Shutdown Command Processing for NORM, IMMED, or FORCE

To define shutdown commands for NORM, IMMED, or FORCE phases, you enter S or C in the Cmd field on the Subsystem Shutdown Processing panel for those phases. This displays a Command Processing panel, as shown in Figure 1.

You can use line commands in the Cmd field to manipulate the entries on this panel as described in Specifying Startup Commands.

Use the following fields to enter the commands that are particular for the specified shutdown phase:

Mixed case

Specify whether the value entered in the Data field remains unchanged (YES) or is translated to upper case characters automatically (NO).

Ps (Pass)

You can enter any number between 1 and 99 in this field. Commands or replies with 1 in their corresponding Pass field are the entries that are issued during the first attempt at shutting down the subsystem.

If after a specified amount of time (entered in the Shut Delay field on the Subsystem Definition panel) the subsystem is still not down, another attempt (or pass) is made. The next pass runs all entries that have 2 in their Pass field. This continues until the subsystem is down. If you do not specify a pass for a command, it is issued on every pass.

For example, Figure 1 defines the normal shutdown commands that are issued for the VTAM® subsystem. This example defines two passes of shutdown commands. On the first pass, the command MVS Z NET,QUICK is issued. On the second pass, the command MVS Z NET,CANCEL is issued.

In another example, MVS P TSO could be a command for pass 1 and MVS C TSO could be the command for pass 2 (which means that if purging TSO fails, it is canceled).

AutoFn/*

See AutoFn/* in Command Processing for a detailed description.

Command Text

Enter the command or command list to be issued. You must preface any system command with MVS.

If you want to use MDFYSHUT to change the shutdown pass processing, you should specify it as a command on one of the passes.

The entries on this panel can be inherited from a class, in which case they are displayed in a different color. Because all of the commands are inherited together, if you edit one of them they all change color to indicate that they are now particular to that instance.

You can find out which class a value has been inherited from by typing the command classname (or its abbreviation cn) on the command line.
