SUSPEND SERVER
SUSPEND SERVER
This command temporarily stops the processing of transactions queued for a distributed 
server class in the LCS process. Send operations from TCP requesters and client 
processes are queued until the suspension is released. The RESUME SERVER
command releases the suspension.  
server-class
specifies the name of a previously defined and added distributed server class. 
GROUP group-name 
specifies the name of a set of server classes, each configured as a member of the 
specified group. The SUSPEND SERVER command is issued to each SERVER 
object associated with this group.
* 
issues the SUSPEND SERVER command to all distributed server classes in a given 
Pathway/XM environment.
Considerations
•
If the server timeout expires before the suspension is released, the server class 
moves to a FROZEN state and all transactions in the queue are terminated with the 
error FESCSERVERCLASSFROZEN (913).
•
If the server is suspended longer than the time specified for the server timeout and 
there are no new sends to the server, the LCS process stops and the server class state 
changes from SUSPENDED to STOPPED. In this case, you must use the START 
SERVER command instead of the RESUME SERVER command. Therefore, before 
issuing a START or RESUME command, you must verify the status of the server 
using a STATUS SERVER command.
Examples
The following command suspends the DEPOSITS server class for 15 minutes:
SUSPEND SERVER DEPOSITS, 15
The following command suspends all distributed server classes in the Pathway/XM 
subsystem for 5 minutes:
SUSPEND SERVER *, 5
SUSPEND SERVER { server-class  } 
 { GROUP group-name }
 { * } 
Note. This command does not apply to direct or replicated server classes.
