Quiescing a target region in an active workload

Start of change

This example describes how to use the Web User Interface (WUI) to quiesce the target region CICSPA03, which belongs to the active workload WLSPAY01. You might need to do this so that you can apply maintenance to a region, for example. The regions CICSPT01 and CICSPT02 are routing work requests among three target regions (CICSPA01, CICSPA02, and CICSPA03) when you perform this task.

  1. List the target regions associated with workload WLSPAY01.
    1. From the Web User Interface main menu click Active workload views-->Target regions in an active workload.
    2. If the current context is not PLXPROD1, specify PLXPROD1 in the Context field.
    3. In the Workload name field type WLSPAY01 and click Refresh. This redisplays the Target region in active workload. The three CICS regions CICSPA01, CICSPA02 and CICSPA03 are listed. Their status is active.
  2. Quiesce target region CICSPA03.
    1. Select the entry for target region CICSPA03, and click Quiesce. This opens the Quiesce confirmation screen.
    2. Click Yes to confirm the action. The Target region status value changes to QUIESCED. No new work requests are routed to the target region, though any work already running there is allowed to complete.
