FREEZE SERVER

This command prohibits all link managers, such as LINKMON processes, TCP

processes, and LCS processes, from sending requests to a server class.

If a server process has incomplete requests (requests for which links have not yet been

granted) or outstanding requests (such as an active dialog), the PATHMON process

cannot freeze the server class until after these requests complete. While waiting for the

requests to complete, the server is in the FREEZE-PENDING state, and no new requests

can be initiated.

If no incomplete or outstanding requests exist for any server in the server class, the

PATHMON process immediately freezes the server class.

server-class

specifies the name of a previously defined and added SERVER object.

GROUP group-name

specifies the name of a set of SERVER objects, each configured as a member of the

specified group. The FREEZE SERVER command is issued to each SERVER

associated with this group.

issues the FREEZE SERVER command to all SERVER objects in a given

Pathway/XM environment.

immediately prohibits all link managers from sending requests to a server class; the

SCREEN COBOL STOP-MODE special register value is ignored.

WAIT

directs the PATHMON process to complete this command pending acceptance by

the link managers of the communication freeze on the server class. This option

allows you to monitor the freeze operation as it takes place. The PATHMON

process attempts to freeze each server class and reports on each one as frozen or

pending freeze. The process then loops until all server classes are frozen.

To abort the FREEZE SERVER command (for example, if the wait is taking too

long), you must stop the PXMCOM process and restart it.
