DFHDPLOY utility commands

Commands are read from the JCL SYSIN data definition and messages are written to the SYSTSPRT data definition. You can specify a command across multiple lines. A semicolon (;) indicates the end of a command. Comments starting with an asterisk (*) as the first non-blank character are ignored. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.

When an application is transitioned from AVAILABLE or UNAVAILABLE to any other state, DFHDPLOY waits for tasks associated with the application operation to complete during the UNAVAILABLE stage.

If a task fails to complete within the specified TIMEOUT value, the job fails with warnings and a return code of 4 or 8. For more information about the differences between return codes, see DFHDPLOY utility return codes.
