Disabling what was enabled

If after you use an enabled feature, product, or TCP/IP, you want to discontinue its use, you must disable it. Use the IFAPRDxx member to define the policy change and enter the SET PROD command to activate the changed policy.

Because disabling the feature, product, or TCP/IP in the enablement policy does not stop it from running, you might have to explicitly stop it. For example, you might have to take the following actions:

Enter a command that is provided by the feature, product, or TCP/IP.
Enter the MVS™ MODIFY or MVS STOP command.

Or, you might decide that the least disruptive way to stop a long-running feature, product, or TCP/IP is to IPL the system without it.

After you disable a feature, product, or TCP/IP, ask your asset manager to contact your IBM® representative to alert IBM that you are discontinuing its use on a specific processor. See the Usage Restriction section of z/OS Licensed Program Specifications for more license terms and conditions.
