</table>
|
||
|
<p><strong>Wait time</strong>
|
||
|
The number of seconds that the system should wait for
|
||
|
the exit program to complete the Execute action request.
|
||
|
The exit programs can set this to a value between 1 and 3600 seconds.
|
||
|
An attempt is made to run each exit program asynchronously via
|
||
|
a batch job (asynchronous batch job method).
|
||
|
If the batch job method fails for some reason, such as due to being in
|
||
|
restricted state, or the subsystem is ending controlled,
|
||
|
then another attempt will be made to execute the exit program synchronously
|
||
|
via a direct call (synchronous direct call method). As you can see, there could be a mixture of
|
||
|
asynchronous and synchronous methods used to run all the exit programs for the
|
||
|
power down.
|
||
|
Thus, both method's considerations described below must be accounted for when
|
||
|
setting this value.
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
Both method's considerations are met if the sum of all the Wait times returned
|
||
|
by the exit programs are less than 3600 seconds and if all exit programs finish Execute action
|
||
|
processing in less time than their specified Wait time.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Asynchronous batch job method considerations:</strong>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
For the Execute action processing, each exit program
|
||
|
will be run in a separate job to allow multiple exit programs to be run at the same time.
|
||
|
When setting the Wait time, the following needs to be considered:
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
The largest value within this range that is set and returned by any exit program will be used
|
||
|
as the maximum wait time.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
If none of the exit programs return a value, then a value of 30 seconds is used as the
|
||
|
maximum wait time.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
If a value greater than 3600 is returned by any exit program, then 3600 will be used
|
||
|
as the maximum wait time.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
For an immediate power down, the system will continue to power down after the
|
||
|
maximum wait time has passed, and any exit programs that have not finished
|
||
|
processing will be ended.
|
||
|
For a controlled power down, the exit programs will be allowed to process longer than
|
||
|
the maximum wait time depending on the value of the Delay time parameter.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
<strong>Synchronous direct call method considerations:</strong>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
For the Execute action processing, each exit program
|
||
|
will be run sequentially in the same job where the PWRDWNSYS command was invoked.
|
||
|
Each exit program will be called one after the other, but only after the prior exit
|
||
|
program completes (serial) and only if there is time left to process.
|
||
|
When setting the Wait time, the following needs to be considered:
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
3600 seconds is the maximum wait time for all the exit programs to complete.
|
||
|
The value set by the user exit program will be used to determine how long to wait
|
||
|
for the completion of that program. If the program goes over the specified time,
|
||
|
then the program will be terminated and a CPF18C8 diagnostic message will result.
|
||
|
If the exit program finishes under the time specified, then only the actual time
|
||
|
used will be subtracted from the maximum time allowed (3600 seconds).
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
For each exit program that didn't return a value, a value of 30 seconds will be used
|
||
|
for that exit program.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
If a value greater than 3600 is returned by a exit program, then 3600 will be used for that
|
||
|
exit program.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
For an immediate or controlled power down, the system will continue to power down after the
|
||
|
maximum wait time has passed (3600 seconds), and any exit program that has not finished
|
||
|
processing will be ended. Any exit programs that were in line to be called after this
|
||
|
ended exit program will not be called to run.
|
||
|
</li>

<h3><a name="HDRUSAGE1">PWRD0100 Format Usage Notes</a></h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>When a user issues the PWRDWNSYS or ENDSYS command, the operating system
|
||
|
calls the user-written exit program that was added through the registration facility.
|
||
|
The user-written exit program is not called for the following:
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is already in restricted state.</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is being powered down immediately while on auxiliary power.
|
||
|
See the system value Uninterruptible power supply message queue (QUPSMSGQ) for
|
||
|
this situation.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is ending because the storage lower limit is reached and the
|
||
|
system value Auxiliary storage lower limit action (QSTGLOWACN) has a value
|
||
|
of *ENDSYS or *PWRDWNSYS.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is ending because of an auditing error and the
|
||
|
system value Auditing end action (QAUDENDACN) is set with *PWRDWNSYS.</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is a secondary partition and is powering down
|
||
|
because the primary partition is powering down.</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
If the system is powering down because of a
|
||
|
critical hardware detected situation.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>This exit point supports one exit program. For information about adding an
|
||
|
exit program to an exit point, see the <a href="reg1.htm">Registration Facility
|
||
|
APIs</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The Power Down System exit point ignores any return codes or error messages
|
||
|
that are sent from the exit program.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>It is recommended that the Power Down System exit program exist in a library in the
|
||
|
system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) or in a basic user ASP. It might not be found
|
||
|
if it exists in a library in an independent ASP.</p>

<h3><a name="HDRUSAGE2">PWRD0200 Format Usage Notes</a></h3>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>When a user issues the PWRDWNSYS command, the operating system
|
||
|
calls the user-written exit programs that were added to the exit point
|
||
|
through the registration facility.
|
||
|
The user-written exit programs are not called for the following:
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is being powered down immediately while on auxiliary power
|
||
|
and this state is identified before Check action processing.
|
||
|
See the system value Uninterruptible power supply message queue (QUPSMSGQ) for
|
||
|
this situation.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is being powered down immediately and the system goes to auxiliary power
|
||
|
after Check action processing has begun but before Execute action processing has begun.
|
||
|
For this case, the Execute action phase will be skipped and the user exit programs
|
||
|
will not be called for Cancel processing.
|
||
|
The system will continue to power down.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is ending because the storage lower limit is reached and the
|
||
|
system value Auxiliary storage lower limit action (QSTGLOWACN) has a value
|
||
|
of *PWRDWNSYS.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is ending because of an auditing error and the
|
||
|
system value Auditing end action (QAUDENDACN) is set with *PWRDWNSYS.</li>
|
||
|
<li>If the system is a secondary partition and is powering down
|
||
|
because the primary partition is powering down.</li>
|
||
|
<li>
|
||
|
If the system is powering down because of a
|
||
|
critical hardware detected situation.
|
||
|
</li>
|
||
|
</ul>
|
||
|
<p>Unlike the exit program associated with format PWRD0100,
|
||
|
the exit programs associated with PWRD0200 will be called if the
|
||
|
system is powered down immediately or in a controlled manner from restricted state.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>This exit point supports more than one exit program (no maximum).
|
||
|
For information about adding an exit program to an exit point,
|
||
|
see the <a href="reg1.htm">Registration Facility APIs</a>.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If there are exit programs specified for both formats (PWRD0100 and PWRD0200)
|
||
|
then both format exit program(s) will be called. This can occur for a normal
|
||
|
controlled or immediate power down. When this occurs, the PWRD0200 exit programs
|
||
|
will be called first followed by the PWRD0100 exit program.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Format PWRD0200 provides a
|
||
|
method for the system to determine if a powered down state can be reached.
|
||
|
The Action field will have values which will be used to determine what the exit
|
||
|
program should do. Each exit program will be called multiple times from the PWRDWNSYS
|
||
|
command processing program. Each exit program will be called first with a Check
|
||
|
action request to determine if the powered down
|
||
|
state can be safely reached and how much time might be required.
|
||
|
If an exit program determines that a powered down state cannot be reached at this
|
||
|
time (0 Status flag is returned), or if the PWRDWNSYS command is canceled during
|
||
|
this Check processing, or if a confirmation panel is displayed after this Check processing
|
||
|
and the user elects to not continue the power down, then all prior exit programs that have
|
||
|
been called with a Check action request will be called again with a Cancel action request.
|
||
|
Each exit program should reset any preliminary actions it may have made.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If all exit programs return a Yes (1 Status flag is returned) during the Check action
|
||
|
phase, then each exit program will be called again with an Execute action.
|
||
|
An Execute action will be used to instruct the exit program to perform it's
|
||
|
pre powered down state work.
|
||
|
These jobs will run under the user profile who issued the PWRDWNSYS command.
|
||
|
Once the exit program is called with an Execute action,
|
||
|
it will either be allowed to complete it's task or it will be terminated
|
||
|
if the calculated Wait time is exceeded.
|
||
|
Note that once the PWRDWNSYS command reaches the Execute action phase,
|
||
|
the command can no longer be canceled.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>If the PWRDWNSYS command is run again while the exit programs are
|
||
|
processing the Execute action, then the exit programs will have to handle this
|
||
|
situation where the Execute action processing may have already occurred and is
|
||
|
currently being run in another job. The exit programs will also have to
|
||
|
handle any necessary serialization.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>Errors detected by the PWRDWNSYS command processing program
|
||
|
(unable to call exit program, invalid status flag, and so on)
|
||
|
will be treated as if a powered down state can be reached (same as status flag value of 1
|
||
|
being returned).</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>It is recommended that the Power Down System exit programs exist in a library in the
|
||
|
system auxiliary storage pool (ASP number 1) or in a basic user ASP (ASP numbers 2-32).
|
||
|
It might not be found
|
||
|
if it exists in a library in an independent ASP.
