Stopping DDF

You can stop the distributed data facility (DDF) if you have SYSOPR authority or higher.

Procedure

Begin general-use programming interface information. To stop the DDF:

Use one of the following commands:

-STOP DDF MODE (QUIESCE)
-STOP DDF MODE (FORCE)

Results

The STOP DDF command causes the following messages to appear:

DSNL005I - DDF IS STOPPING
DSNL006I - DDF STOP COMPLETE

If the distributed data facility has already been stopped, the STOP DDF command fails and message DSNL002I - DDF IS ALREADY STOPPED appears. End general-use programming interface information.
