To shut down the FOCUS Database Server, execute the HLIKX utility found in the partitioned data set FOCLIB.LOAD. From TSO, enter:

ALLOC F(FOCSU) DA(dataset) SHR 
CALL FOCLIB.LOAD(HLIKX)

where:

dataset

Names the communication data set allocated to ddname FOCSU in the FOCUS Database Server startup JCL.

When you execute this program, the FOCUS Database Server processes current transactions, pauses, closes all files, and stops (this usually takes less than a minute).

The FOCUS Database Server can also be stopped with a batch job:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=HLIKX
//STEPLIB  DD   DSN=FOCLIB.LOAD,DISP=SHR
//FOCSU    DD   DSN=dataset,DISP=SHR

where:

dataset

Is the data set name of the communication data set allocated to ddname FOCSU in the FOCUS Database Server startup JCL.

Never cancel the FOCUS Database Server. Instead, stop it with the HLIKX utility to ensure proper completion of all pending transactions. FOCUS Database Servers started with passwords can also be stopped by an HLI control command. For information, see SU and the Host Language Interface (HLI).
