Usage

When you issue the SHUTDOWN command, from a CICS terminal, the CICS BAC component in the region shuts down. When shutdown is completed, the CICS region cannot service any batch request utility or communication server requests. All resources are released, and the CICS BAC global user exit programs are disabled.
Note: Note: The effect of SHUTDOWN command is as though the CICS BAC component had never been started. To enable CICS BAC to resume accepting and processing batch request utility and communication server requests, you must restart the CICS BAC component.

There are no parameters on the SHUTDOWN command.
