ZFCAP PAUSE–Pause the capture function

Use this command to temporarily stop or pause the capture function for the current processor or for all the participating processors. If the capture function is capturing a module (physical DASD unit) when you enter this command, the capture for that module is completed before the function is paused.

Last updated

  • Changed for PUT08.
  • Changed for PUT04.

Requirements and restrictions

  • Each participating processor must be in UTIL state or higher.
  • Do not use the ALL prefix with this function; use the ALL parameter instead.
  • In a multiple database function (MDBF) environment, you cannot enter this command for a subsystem or subsystem user that is currently running online database reorganization (ODBR).
