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.
