CEMT SET BRFACILITY

Release virtual terminals (bridge facilities) used by the 3270 bridge mechanism.

Description

You can use the CEMT SET BRFACILITY command to request deletion of the virtual terminal (bridge facility) used by the 3270 bridge mechanism.

If a transaction is currently running, the bridge facility is deleted at the end of the transaction. If the bridge facility is currently AVAILABLE, the facility is deleted at the next garbage clearance.

When a bridge facility is released, the delete function of the XFAINTU global user exit is driven.

Note: Bridge facilities are deleted only in the region in which the command is issued. Bridge facilities can exist in both router and AOR regions. This command deletes the facility in the region on which it is issued. It does not affect the other region, but this means that the bridge facility can no longer be used. However, to free the storage that a bridge facility occupies, you must issue this command in both regions. This command can be issued only in the router or AOR region where the bridge facility was created.

  • Type CEMT SET BRFACILITY (CEMT S BR) (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords), followed by (value) or ALL, then followed by one or more attribute settings that you want to change. For example, cemt s br(value) rel releases the specified bridge facility.
