4.7.5.4 Stopping a Host

To stop a host, use the STOP HOST command with the IMSID parameter with a value matching the IMSID specification on the HOST, TYPE=IMS statement. Refer to the Defining the Local Gateway . Use the IMMED=YES parameter to stop the host immediately without waiting for requests in progress to complete. Outstanding requests are sent an error message. (For a description of error messages, refer to the Error and Informational Messages) Use the IMMED=NO to allow the host to complete processing outstanding requests and then shutdown. While waiting, the host does not accept any new requests. IMMED=NO is the default. The example below stops the IMS3 host after transaction processing completes.
