stops when it has no more open jobs. Each print process finishes printing active jobs and then
stops.
After all collectors and print processes have stopped, the supervisor process stops itself. The
spooler enters the dormant state, ready to be warm started.
CAUTION: Never use the TACL STOP command to halt the spooler. The control file can be
corrupted during the next warm start or rebuild.
For more information on draining the spooler, see Support Note S99086, NSK Spooler—Migration
and Draining Instructions and Chapter 1 and Appendix H in the Spooler Utilities Reference Manual.
Back Up the Spooler Control Files
While the spooler environment is closed, back up the spooler control files to render a known
database from which you recover in case of a catastrophic spooler failure. Make sure that you
drain the spooler:

ZPHIRNM
During the Build/Apply phase, DSM/SCM places product files in their subvolumes with temporary
(fabricated) file names so that the new file names do not conflict with the file names of currently
running programs. The ZPHIRNM program renames files that currently have actual file names
with fabricated names and renames new files, which have fabricated names, with their actual
names. ZPHIRNM is run from the DSM/SCM subvolume.
Using ZPHIRNM PREVIEW Mode
You can do a preview run of ZPHIRNM to check that the target subvolumes (TSVs) and associated
map files are consistent. Running ZPHIRNM in PREVIEW mode simulates the ZPHIRNM process
without actually updating files or activating the configuration. In PREVIEW mode, ZPHIRNM
indicates whether TMF needs to be up when running ZPHIRNM. For example, if no SQL program
files need running, TMF is not required to be running along with the ZPHIRNM program.
If ZPHIRNM is run in PREVIEW mode, ZMODGP will be run in TRIAL mode. The new ZcccGP
files will be named ZFBccncc, but cannot be easily distinguished from non-ZcccGP files also
named ZFBccncc.
