ABORT PROCESS
ABORT PROCESS
The ABORT PROCESS command terminates the operation of a process, placing it in the 
STOPPED state, whether or not its work is completed. ABORT PROCESS is a sensitive 
command.
The ABORT PROCESS command has the following syntax:
\system-name
identifies the system in which the APLMGR process is running.
$appl-mgr-name
identifies the APLMGR process you want to abort.
indirect-process-name
identifies the initiator or responder process you want to abort.
ABORT 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 specified process must be in the STARTED or SUSPENDED state for this 
command to be completed successfully.
•
When applied to an initiator or a responder process, this command terminates all 
pending requests for subdevices associated with the process, deletes all the process 
subdevices, and places the process in the STOPPED state. The process ceases to 
exist, but the attributes of the process are still defined in the APLMGR MIB.
•
When the APLMGR process is placed in the STOPPED state, the APLMGR process 
ceases to exist.
When the APLMGR process is in the STOPPED state, the initiator and responder 
processes managed by that APLMGR continue their processing over currently 
existing associations. They can also perform sensitive SCF commands (TRACE, for 
example) that are sent directly to them. However, no new associations can be 
initiated.
•
When you are using command files, you might want to follow this command with a 
DELAY command having a time value of approximately five seconds. The delay is 
necessary only if the command following the ABORT PROCESS command expects 
the process to be in the STOPPED state.
