Ending a remote journal link independently - assure_mimix - 10.0

Remote journal (RJ) links used by replication and system manager processes are normally not ended by operations that end those processes. However, commands which end those operations have the ability to optionally end the RJ links (ENDMMX, ENDDG, or ENDMMXMGR commands).

This topic describes how to end an RJ link independently of other MIMIX processes.

Important!

•  The default value *IMMED for the End remote journal link (ENDOPT) parameter of the ENDRJLNK command used in these instructions will perform an immediate end for the specified RJ link. The following instructions allow you to specify whether to perform an immediate or controlled end of the specified RJ link. Regardless of the value specified for ENDOPT, an immediate end is always performed in the following situations:

  • The remote journal function is running in synchronous mode (DELIVERY(*SYNC)).

  • The remote journal function is performing catch-up processing.

To end a remote journal link separately from other MIMIX processes, do the following:

1. Do one of the following to access a subset of RJ links for the type of process by which they are used:

   • To access the RJ links for a data group on the Work with Data Groups display, type 44 (RJ links) next to the data group you want and press Enter.

   • To access the RJ links for system manager processes on the Work with Systems display, type 7 (System manager status) next to the system you want and press Enter. On the resulting Work with System Pairs display, type 12 (Work with RJ links) next to the pair of systems for the system manager process you want and press Enter.

2. From the Work with Remote Journal Links display, type a 10 (End) next to the link in the list that you want to end.

3. Do one of the following:

   • To perform an immediate end from the source system, press Enter. This completes the procedure for an immediate end.

   • To perform a controlled end or to end from the target system, press F4 (Prompt), then continue with the next step.

4. The End Remote Journal Link (ENDRJLNK) display appears. Press F10 (Additional parameters).

5. To perform a controlled end, specify *CNTRLD at the End remote journal link prompt. If you need to end from the target system, specify *TGT at the End RJ link on system prompt. To process the request, press Enter.
