SUSPEND PROCESS
SUSPEND PROCESS
The SUSPEND PROCESS command places a process in the SUSPENDED state,
thereby preventing it from processing information other than DSM messages. This is a
sensitive command.
The SUSPEND PROCESS command has the following syntax:
\system-name
identifies the system in which the specified process is running.
$appl-mgr-name
identifies the APLMGR process you wish to suspend.
indirect-process-name
identifies indirectly, through its APLMGR process, the FTAM initiator or responder
process you wish to suspend.
SUSPEND PROCESS Considerations
•
You cannot send this command directly to an initiator or a responder process. If you
specify indirect-process-name, the APLMGR process routes it to the
specified initiator or responder process.
•
The process must be in the STARTED state for this command to be completed
successfully. Use of the SUSPEND PROCESS command changes the state of the
process to the SUSPENDED state.
•
Before this command is used on an initiator or a responder process, all subdevices
for that process must be stopped. If no work is in progress, all that is required to
suspend the process is to issue the SUSPEND PROCESS command. If work is in
progress, you must stop any subdevices before issuing the SUSPEND PROCESS
command. To stop a subdevice, issue the ABORT SU command or stop the
application that is using the subdevice.
•
When the APLMGR process is placed in the SUSPENDED state, the initiator and
responder processes managed by that APLMGR continue their processing over
currently existing associations. They can also perform sensitive SCF commands
(such as TRACE, for example). However, no new associations can be initiated.
