Stopping the Capture program
You can stop the Capture program for a particular Capture schema. When you stop the Capture program, it no longer captures data from the source.
About this task
IBM® i: If you choose to reorganize the UOW table and all the CD tables that were open at the time that the Capture program stopped, the Capture program needs time to shut down (it does not shut down immediately).
Procedure
To stop the Capture program, use one of the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
MODIFY or asnccmd stop system command (z/OS®, Linux, UNIX, Windows) |
Use this command to stop Capture. |
ENDDPRCAP system command (IBM i) |
Use the End DPR Capture (ENDDPRCAP) command to stop the Capture program. |
If you stop or suspend the Capture program during pruning, pruning is also suspended. When
you resume or restart the Capture program, pruning resumes based on the
autoprune parameter.
You do not need to stop the Capture program to drop a registration. Always deactivate the registration before you drop it.
