Syntax: How to Stop the FDS From the Command Line

Windows-based systems. From the Windows command line, issue the following command 

drive:\ibi\srv76\wfs\bin\edastart -stopsu edaconf/bin/edastart -stopsu

where:

drive

Is the drive where your WebFOCUS Reporting Server configuration is located.

UNIX-based systems. From the UNIX command line, issue the following command 

edaconf/bin/edastart -stopsu

where:

edaconf

Is the location of your WebFOCUS Reporting Server configuration. The default value is /home/ibi/srv76/wfs.

Note: You can restart the FDS by substituting -startsu for -stopsu in the command.

Procedure: How to Stop the FDS From the Web Console

For both Windows and UNIX-based systems, perform the following steps:

  1. To use the Web Console, open a Web browser and point it to the HTTP port on the host machine where the WebFOCUS Reporting Server is running. Your WebFOCUS Reporting Server must be running in order for you to use the Web Console.
  2. If you are running your server with security on, you must type the WebFOCUS Reporting Server Administrator user ID and password. If you are running your sever with security off, you may type any valid operating system user ID and password.

    The Web Console opens.

  3. Select Workspace from the menu bar, then select Configuration from the drop-down menu.

    The Workspace Configuration window opens displaying the General pane.

  4. In the Workspace Configuration navigation pane, under the Special Services folder, click FDS and then select Stop from the drop-down menu.

Note: You can restart the FDS from the Web Console by repeating these steps and selecting Start instead of Stop from the drop-down menu.

Stopping and Starting the FDS on z/OS

On a z/OS system, the FDS runs as a batch job or as a started task. You should not stop the FDS with the ISPF Cancel command. Instead, stop it from TSO or with a batch job.

Top of page
Example: Stopping the FDS From TSO

Execute the HLIKX utility found in the partitioned data set FOCLIB.LOAD.

Type

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

where:

dataset

Is the name of the communication data set that the FDS allocated to DDNAME FOCSU.

When you execute this program, the FDS processes current transactions, pauses, closes all files, and stops. This usually takes less than one minute.
Top of page
Example: Stopping the FDS With a Batch Job

You can stop the FDS with a batch job containing the following JCL 

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

where:

dataset

Is the name of the communication data set that the FDS allocated to DDNAME FOCSU.
