Refusing Sessions and Jobs on a Device
The REFUSE command is issued from the system console to prevent users
from running jobs, sessions, or sending data (see the next note in this
chapter) on a designated device. To determine the current status of
LDEV35, enter:
SHOWDEV 35
The system displays:
_____________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| LDEV AVAIL OWNERSHIP VOLID |
| |
| 35 AVAIL |
| |
_____________________________________________________________________
AVAIL indicates that the device is online as a real, nonshareable device.
"A" indicates that it can accept jobs and data.
To prevent jobs from running on logical device number 35, enter:
REFUSE 35
Confirm the status of the device by entering:
SHOWDEV 35
The system displays:
________________________________________________________________________
| |
| LDEV AVAIL OWNERSHIP VOLID |
| |
| 35 AVAIL |
| |
________________________________________________________________________
Note that the "A" is no longer displayed. Although the device is still
online and available, it will no longer accept jobs and data.
