Quiesced (or orderly) shutdown

A quiesced shutdown of the connection allows each CICS® transaction to end before the interface is closed. When you use this method, you can expect no indoubt units of work when you reconnect CICS.

A quiesced shutdown occurs in each of the following situations:

The CICS terminal operator issues an EXEC CICS or CEMT SET MQCONN NOTCONNECTED command, or a CKQC STOP command. CICS and the queue manager remain active.
The CICS terminal operator issues the CICS command:
```
CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN
```
For information about the CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN command, see CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN.
The queue manager is quiesced by the command:
```
+CSQ1 STOP QMGR MODE(QUIESCE)
```
This command stops the queue manager, allows the currently identified tasks to continue normal processing, and does not allow new tasks to identify themselves to the queue manager. CICS remains active.
