Using Application Programming Interface USR2075N

The Application Programming Interface (API) USR2075N enables you to terminate an EntireX Broker Service from within your application.

With the command TERMINATE-SERVICE the interface uses the command and information service of EntireX to fulfill the task. First of all, it sends a logon request to the EntireX Broker. Then it gets a list of all servers specified by server class, server name, and service type. Finally, it sends a shutdown request to each server. A message indicates how many servers were terminated.

Start of instruction setTo make use of USR2075N

  1. Copy the subprogram USR2075N from libray SYSEXT to the library SYSTEM or to the steplib library or to any application in the server environment.

  2. Using a DEFINE DATA statement in structured mode or a RESET statement in reporting mode, specify the following parameters:

    Parameter Format I/O Description
