A controlled end for a data group may take some time if there is a backlog of files to process or if there are a number of errors that MIMIX is attempting to resolve before ending.
If you think that a data group is taking too long to end, check the following for possible causes:
-
Check to see how many transactions are backlogged for the apply process. Use option 8 (Display status) on the Work with Data Groups display to access the detailed status. A number in the Unprocessed Entry Count column indicates a backlog. Use F7 and F8 to see additional information.
-
Determine which replication process is not ending. Use the command
WRKSBSJOB SBS(MIMIXSBS)to see the jobs in the MIMIXSBS subsystem. Look for jobs for replication processes that have not changed to a status of END. For example, abc_OBJRTV, where abc is a 3-character prefix. -
Check the QSYSOPR message log to see if there is message that requires a reply.
-
You can use the WRKDGACTE STATUS(*ACTIVE) command to ensure all data group activity entries are completed. If a controlled end was issued, all activity entries must be processed before the object processes are ended.
