Stopping DBCTL abnormally

There is no equivalent of a CICS® immediate shutdown in DBCTL. If you need to force termination of DBCTL, the MVS console operator has to issue an MVS MODIFY jobname STOP command.

About this task

This causes an abnormal termination without a dump. If you want a dump to be taken, use an MVS MODIFY jobname DUMP command. For guidance on using MVS commands with IMS, see Operations and automation in IMS product documentation.
