ABORT Command
ABORT Command
The ABORT command halts the operation of objects as quickly as possible—only
enough processing is done to ensure the security of the subsystem. The object is left in
the STOPPED summary state. This is a sensitive command.
Considerations for the ABORT Command
•
For more controlled termination of lines and subdevices, use the STOP command.
•
To initiate the operation of lines and subdevices, use the START command.
•
When you use the ABORT command, all activities being performed by the lines
and subdevices come to a halt, and files can be left in an inconsistent or
incomplete state.
•
If you are terminating both a line and its subordinate subdevices (for example, with
the SUB ALL option), SCF halts the subdevices first and then halts the line.
•
If you are terminating a line only, make sure that all subdevices (if any) associated
with the line are in the STOPPED state.
•
The SEL option is not supported.
•
Wild cards are not supported at the subdevice level.
•
For a PTP subdevice, AM3270 will attempt to break the connection by sending a
DISCONNECT command to the TR3271 PTP subdevice before putting the
subdevice in the STOPPED summary state.
If the DISCONNECT command fails because the TR3271 subdevice is already in
the STOPPED summary state, the ABORT command finishes processing
successfully, but with the connection broken at the AM3270 end. In this case, there
is a risk of losing data from the TR3271 PTP subdevice because it considers the
connection to exist. Therefore, it is recommended that you follow the normal
disconnect procedure before attempting an ABORT operation (refer to the
description of the DISCONNECT command for syntax information).
Command Syntax for the ABORT Command
The ABORT command has the following syntax:
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
ABORT [ / OUT file-spec / ] [ LINE line-name | SU su-name ]
[ , SUB [ ONLY | ALL ] ]
