TMFCOM Commands
HP NonStop TMF Reference Manual—522418-002
3-305
STOP TMF
STOP TMF
The STOP TMF command shuts down TMF, terminating transaction processing and
displaying the EMS events for the stop operation as it progresses.
NOWAIT
requests that when TMFCOM accepts the STOP TMF command, it suppresses
display of the EMS event messages for the stop operation and immediately issues
a prompt for another command. You can check the status of the stop operation
later by issuing a STATUS TMF or DISPLAY OPERATIONS command.
If you do not specify NOWAIT, TMFCOM displays the EMS events on your terminal
or writes them to the OUT file (if you specify that) as the stop operation
progresses.
ABRUPT
immediately shuts down TMF by aborting all transactions in progress. When you
specify ABRUPT, TMF shuts down without attempting to complete transactions that
have not committed or aborted. If you omit ABRUPT, however, TMF shuts down
gracefully, remaining in operation until all transactions are committed or backed
out, and all audit processing is complete.
Security Restrictions
You can issue a STOP TMF command only if you are a member of the super user
group.
TMF State Requirement
Before you can enter the STOP TMF command without the ABRUPT option, TMF must
be started. However, you can enter the STOP TMF command with the ABRUPT option
at any time, whether or not TMF is running.
Usage Guidelines
When it is accepted by TMFCOM, the STOP TMF command without the ABRUPT
option performs the following actions, in the order listed:
•
Prevents new transactions from beginning
•
Waits for all in-progress transactions to complete
•
Stops data volumes
•
Terminates audit trail service
