The ccmdb shutdown command automates several important steps required to bring down all Rational® Synergy user sessions safely. The command also ensures that a database is in a protected state. Use this command to close down a Rational Synergy database for maintenance.
Synopsis
ccmdb shutdown database_path
Uses
This program operates on the database that you specify. The ccmdb shutdown command does the following:
- Prevents new users from starting sessions. See ccmdb protect.
- Notifies active users with a series of warning messages that the database will be brought down.
- Issues remote exit commands to sessions that have not exited.
- Waits until all users have exited or successfully shut down.
After you have started the ccmdb shutdown command, only an interrupt keyboard sequence can stop the shutdown from happening.
The user for this command is the Rational Synergy administrator.
Options and arguments
- database_path
- Specifies the path to the database to be shut down.
- The database_path is the same path on the user interface machine unless you specified a user interface database path in the Startup Info dialog box. To display the database path, run the ccm monitor command. The output displays the correct UNC path.
