Shutting down CICS normally

To shut down CICS® normally, use the CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN command.

Note:
CICS normal shutdown cannot complete until all pipes (sessions) in use for the external call interface have been closed.

When you use the CEMT PERFORM SHUTDOWN command, CICS responds directly by issuing the following messages at the console:

DFHTM1715 CICSITH1 CICS is being quiesced by userid IVPUSER
                   in transaction CEMT at netname IG2S2CA8.
DFHDM0102I applid CICS is quiescing.

Message DFHTM1715 is also issued to the master terminal, to inform the operator that CICS is terminating.

If the normal shutdown is successful, CICS issues the following message at the console:

DFHKE1799 applid TERMINATION OF CICS IS COMPLETE

For example, the following sequence of messages was issued on a normal shutdown of the CICS TOR, CICSHTH1:
