The CDCzLog Publisher Agent may be Stopped to apply changes to the configuration file as described earlier or the Publisher Agent can be Unmounted bringing the agent to a complete stop.
The following example Stops the agent using first the stop command and then the unmount command of the configuration file manager program sqdconf. JCL similar to the following can be edited to conform to the operating environment and then used to execute the SQDCONF control program:
//*----------------------------------------
//*- STOP PUBLISHER AGENT
//*----------------------------------------
//STOP EXEC SQDCONF,OWNER=&SYSUID
//SQDPARMS DD *
stop /home/sqdata/imspub.cab
//*----------------------------------------
//*- UNMOUNT CAPTURE AGENT
//*----------------------------------------
//UNMOUNT EXEC SQDCONF,OWNER=&SYSUID
//SQDPARMS DD *
unmount /home/sqdata/imspub.cab
