Open System Services Management and Operations Guide (G06.30+, H06.08+, J06.03+)

Identify and stop all OSS applications that use OSS AF_UNIX or OSS AF_INET sockets in the
processor served by the OSS transport agent that you want to stop. An OSS transport-agent server
will not shut down if it is servicing an open socket.
Use an OSS Monitor SCF STOP SERVER command to stop the OSS transport-agent server. For
example:
STOP SERVER $ZPMON.#ZTA15
Stopping an OSS Resource Agent Server
To stop an OSS resource agent server:
1. Make sure you are a member of the super group (255, nnn).
2. Use an OSS Monitor SCF STOP SERVER command to stop the OSS resource agent server.
For example:
STOP SERVER $ZPMON.#ZRA15
Stopping a Network Services Server
Network services servers do not shut down if they are in use. You must:
1. Warn your users. You can use a method similar to the one described under “Manually Stopping
the OSS File System and the OSS Environment” (page 47).
2. Stop each process separately by identifying its OSS process ID (PID) using the ps command
from an OSS shell prompt and then issuing a kill command.
For example, to stop the inetd process, enter commands similar to the following:
ps
.
.
.
kill -s KILL 4291
where 4291 is the OSS process ID of the inetd process. This form of the kill command
sends the nondefault KILL signal to the inetd process.
Reconfiguring a Server
How and when you reconfigure a server depends on the type of server.
• “Reconfiguring an OSS Name Server” (page 135)
• “Reconfiguring the OSS Message-Queue Server” (page 137)
• “Reconfiguring the OSS Sockets Local Server (AF_UNIX Release 1 Only)” (page 137)
• “Reconfiguring a Network Services Server” (page 138)
You cannot reconfigure an OSS transport-agent server.
Other servers used by OSS applications require separate procedures. For more information, see
the manual appropriate for a specific server.
Reconfiguring an OSS Name Server
You reconfigure an OSS name server by changing its entry in the Enscribe database ZOSSSERV
file.
1. Make sure that you are a member of the super group (255,nnn).
2. Use the OSS Monitor SCF ALTER SERVER command for the OSS name server. Change one
or more of these attributes:
AUTORESTART
BACKUPCPU
BACKUPCPUOK
