System for Tape Tasks” in Chapter 5 , “Modifying Your System,” for additional information
about these steps.

3. Log users off.
Wait approximately five minutes, make sure users have saved their work and logged off,
then abort jobs or sessions still executing. Use the SHOWJOB command to determine

J
nn the ID number for each job to be aborted.

SHPLOGID YES YES 1 ACTIVE 120 10016 1% 1
ORBLOGID YES YES 9 ACTIVE 3812 10016 38% 1
If no logging processes are running, skip to Step 6.

where logid is the ID number for each logging process to stop.
c. Record the names of the logging processes, if you want to restart them later.
