mcftstop -s MCF-communication-process-identifier

The mcftstop command stops part of an MCF communication service.

When you replace some files of an MCF communication service, execute this command before you replace the files and partially stop the target MCF communication service.

If this command is used incorrectly, the OpenTP1 system may end abnormally. Read the notes carefully before you use this command.

-s MCF-communication-process-identifier~<numerals (0-9), a-f> ((01-ef))

Specify the MCF communication process identifier of the MCF communication service that you want to stop partially. You cannot specify multiple MCF communication process identifiers.

If this command is used incorrectly, the OpenTP1 system may end abnormally. Read the following notes carefully before you use the command.

• Before you enter this command, shut down the logical terminal for the target MCF communication service and release the connection to the MCF communication service. If you enter this command while the MCF communication service is sending or receiving messages, the command may not end or the MCF communication service may end abnormally.
• This command ends without waiting for the completion of the partial stop of the target MCF communication service.
• Partial stop is only available for the MCF communication services (including the application startup service) that use the following protocol products. If you execute partial stop of the MCF communication services that use other protocol products, a KFCA10391-E message appears.
  
  • TP1/NET/TCP/IP
  • TP1/NET/Secondary Logical Unit - TypeP2
  • TP1/NET/OSAS-NIF
• MCF communication services cannot be partially stopped in a system that uses independent rerun of MCF services or a system that provides remote MCF services. If you execute partial stop in such systems, a KFCA16528-E message appears.
• User timer monitoring requests before partial stop of an MCF communication service are valid even if the target MCF communication service becomes partially stopped. User timer monitoring requests issued to the MCF communication service in partial stop status are also registered. Timer monitoring is not executed while the target MCF communication service is partially stopped. However, the partial stop is included in the elapsed time. Therefore, when timer monitoring begins when the MCF communication service partially starts after partial stop, the system may detect a timeout error and UAPs may be started.
• If you partially stop an MCF communication service when there is a held logical terminal or service group, OpenTP1 ends abnormally. Release all held logical terminals and service groups before you partially stop an MCF communication service.
