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 — again using the IFAPRDxx member to define the policy change and 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:

Issue a command provided by the feature, product, or TCP/IP.
Issue the MVS™ MODIFY or MVS STOP command, as appropriate.

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 additional license terms and conditions.
