TMFCOM Commands

DISABLE BEGINTRANS
DISABLE BEGINTRANS
The DISABLE BEGINTRANS command suspends transaction processing throughout
the TMF system.
Security Restrictions
You can enter the DISABLE BEGINTRANS command only if you are a member of the
super user group.
TMF State Requirement
Before you can enter the DISABLE BEGINTRANS command, TMF must be started.
Usage Guidelines
The DISABLE BEGINTRANS command suspends transaction processing by
requesting TMF to disallow new calls to the BEGINTRANSACTION system library
procedure.
Transaction processing remains disabled until you issue the ENABLE BEGINTRANS
command. It remains disabled even if you stop and restart TMF; to reenable
transaction processing, you must explicitly issue ENABLE BEGINTRANS.
If transaction processing is already disabled when you enter DISABLE BEGINTRANS,
TMFCOM displays an error message.
The START TMF command also contains an option called DISABLE BEGINTRANS
that disables transaction processing.
Example
The following DISABLE BEGINTRANS command suspends transaction processing:
TMF 24> DISABLE BEGINTRANS
DISABLE BEGINTRANS
Caution. Suspending transaction processing can cause your transaction processing
applications to fail; thus, you may have to stop your applications before issuing the DISABLE
BEGINTRANS command. If you must suspend transaction processing, choose a time when
the interruption will affect system users the least.
