Forced shutdown

A forced shutdown of the connection can abnormally end CICS transactions connected to the queue manager. Therefore, there might be in-doubt units of work when the system is reconnected. A forced shutdown occurs in each of these situations:

• The CICS terminal operator issues the CKQC STOP FORCE command. The command can be issued from the command line, from a terminal using the CKQC panels, or from a program, (see topic Stopping a connection from a CICS application program).

• The CICS terminal operator issues the CICS immediate termination command:

  CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

  The queue manager remains active.

  For information about this command, see the CICS-Supplied Transactions manual.

• The WebSphere MQ forced termination command is issued:

  +CSQ1 STOP QMGR MODE(FORCE) or +CSQ1 STOP QMGR MODE(RESTART)

  CICS remains active.

• A WebSphere MQ abend occurs. CICS remains active.

• CICS abend occurs. The queue manager remains active.
