Logging Off Users and Locking a FailSafe Database
Notes:
- This procedure must be carried out from the primary database.
- This procedure cannot be executed if FailSafe has failed, or if logging
is inactive.
This procedure allows you to perform an orderly shutdown of the FailSafe
configuration without losing database synchronisation. It logs off all current
users and locks the primary database. FailSafe operation can be resumed simply
by unlocking the database using Miscellaneous menu option 4.
Procedure
- Select option 3 on the
Miscellaneous menu.
A message
is then displayed describing the purpose of the procedure and prompting you to
confirm that you wish to continue. Enter y to shutdown
the database – the following procedure is executed automatically:
- The primary database is locked.
- A pre-shutdown Proc called TL-SHUTDOWN is run on the primary. The contents of
this Proc are entirely site-specific, but typically it will request all users to
logoff, stops all TIPHs, Despoolers, background servers, etc. TL-SHUTDOWN is in
the SYSPROG-PL file.
- Any remaining users are logged off and the database is shutdown.
