CL Command Reference - ENDTCPABN

CL Command List > ENDTCPABN Reference

Description:

The End TCP/IP Abnormal (ENDTCPABN) command is used to force TCP/IP processing to terminate. It may only be used after attempting to use the End TCP/IP (ENDTCP) command with OPTION(*IMMED) specified.

The ENDTCPABN command cannot be issued until either the ENDTCP command has completed or until 10 minutes have passed following the request for TCP/IP immediate ending. This allows sufficient time for normal TCP/IP ending functions to occur.

Successful completion of ENDTCPABN processing should permit TCP/IP to be restarted without a system IPL. Issuing the ENDTCPABN command does not directly affect system termination. The next system end will not be marked as ABNORMAL as a result of ENDTCPABN processing.

Restrictions:

. This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority. The QPGMR, QSYSOPR, QSRV, and QSRVBAS user profiles are shipped with private authorities to use this command.

. Users cannot run the ENDTCPABN command until ten minutes after running the ENDTCP command with OPTION(*IMMED) specified.
