ABORT SAC Command
PIF pif-name
is the name of the PIF to be aborted. The PIF name has the form $ZZLAN.adapter-
name.sac-unit#.pif-unit-letter, for example, $ZZLAN.G11123.0.A.
SUB { ONLY | ALL | NONE }
controls the set of objects and subordinate objects that the command targets:

ONLY specifies that only subordinate objects are targets of the command.

ALL specifies that the named object and the subordinate objects are targets of
the command. This is the default used if the SUB keyword is used but no
option is selected.

NONE specifies that none of the subordinate objects are targets of the
command. This is the default selected if the SUB keyword is not used.
Considerations

Use the ABORT PIF command when you need to stop the operation of a PIF
immediately and the STOP command does not work, or is unavailable, or when
clients are using the PIF.

All activities that the PIF is performing are terminated when the PIF is aborted,
which may cause clients of the SLSA subsystem that are using the specified PIF to
be left in an inconsistent or incomplete state.

To restart an aborted PIF, use the START PIF command.

Use the STATUS PIF command to determine the current summary state of the PIF.

Aborting a PIF causes the access state of the associated LIF to be DOWN.
Example
The following example aborts the PIF named G11123.0.A:
ABORT PIF $ZZLAN.G11123.0.A
The following example aborts a PIF on an E4SA, an MFIOB, a FESA, and a TRSA:
ABORT PIF ($ZZLAN.E0153.1.A, $ZZLAN.M0IE0.0.A,&
$ZZLAN.F0152.0.A, $ZZLAN.T0154.0.A)
ABORT SAC Command
The ABORT SAC command stops the operation of the specified SAC as quickly as
possible and places the SAC in the STOPPED state. Only enough processing is done
to ensure that the SAC can run again when it is restarted.
This command takes effect immediately.
