Purging a Coupling Facility Operation

The IXLPURGE macro allows you to complete IXLCACHE, IXLLIST, and IXLRT operations in progress to a coupling facility and to purge operations that have not yet processed. The operations to be purged must have been invoked on the same system on which IXLPURGE is issued. Use IXLPURGE to complete or purge outstanding XES operations:

For a specific task.
For a specific address space.
For a specific connector.
For one or more requests by request ID (REQID) associated with a specific connector.

When you invoke IXLPURGE, XES completes all pertinent operations or purges all those operations waiting to be completed. When IXLPURGE completes, all XES-established storage binds are broken. Request notification completion for purged requests is scheduled asynchronously, if the requestor is able to receive the completion information. If the requestor is no longer defined, then it cannot receive the completion information.
