Canceling the scheduler

If IBM Z Workload Scheduler is still active 5 minutes after you enter the STOP operator command, you must cancel IBM Z Workload Scheduler.

You might also need to cancel IBM Z Workload Scheduler if the current plan is corrupt, because a normal shutdown causes a backup to the alternate file (for details about current plan recovery, see Customization and Tuning). There are two ways to do this. The first is to enter:
/C procname,DUMP
where procname is the IBM Z Workload Scheduler JCL procedure name.
This causes IBM Z Workload Scheduler to end with a dump on the SYSMDUMP file (if the DD name is in the started-task JCL). The second way is to enter:
/C procname
where procname is the IBM Z Workload Scheduler JCL procedure name.

This causes IBM Z Workload Scheduler to end without a dump.

If the STOP command is ineffective and you have no earlier documentation of the problem, cancel IBM Z Workload Scheduler with a dump so that the error can be located.
