[;TYPE= StopType ]
Use
SNACONTROL STOPSESS can be issued from a session, a job, a program,
or in break. Pressing
[BREAK] has no effect on this command.
Parameters
NodeName Conditionally required. The name of the active SNA
node the LU-LU session is on. The name can be up to
eight alphanumeric characters long; the first character
must be alphabetic.
If only one SNA node is active, this parameter is
optional: If you do not include it, the specified LU-LU
session on the active node is stopped. If
more than one
node is active, this parameter is required: If you do not
include it, an error message is displayed and no LU-LU
session is stopped.
LUName Required. The name of the LU whose session you
want to stop. The name can be up to eight
alphanumeric characters long; the first character must
be alphabetic.
StopType How SNA Transport is to stop the session:
• K = (Kill) The session is stopped immediately. To the
users of the session, this is like a link failure.
CAUTION Data can be lost in a kill shutdown.
• P = (Protocol) SNA Transport notifies the SNA
services that it is stopping the specified LU. Each
service interrupts sending and receiving all active
data sets for the LU-LU session and tries to stop the
specified LU.
