Ending an XRC session

Issue the XEND command to end the extended remote copy session prior to recovering a failed system. XRC generates a message that indicates the time of the last known consistent state of all volume pairs.

After you issue the XEND command, XRC prompts you (unless you have specified NOVERIFY) to confirm the request to end the session. You must specify either YES or NO. You can include the XEND command that is written in REXX. If you do, you should either specify NOVERIFY or place your response to the prompt in the data stack before you issue the command. In a batch environment, you can stack the response.

The following command ends the XRC session:
 XEND DALLAS
The following command ends the XRC session and routes XRC messages to user ID E299000:
 XEND DALLAS MSGROUTEID(E299000)

The XEND command stops all updates to secondary volumes after the completion of the target consistency group to that secondary volume. XRC sends messages that indicate that the XRC session has ended, and includes the consistency group timestamp for the last applied updates to the secondary volumes.

For additional information about the XEND command and the associated parameters, refer to XEND–Ending a session.
