92.0. "ZAP vs DSM" by SOURCE::RAINVILLE () Thu May 09 1991 15:11

    
    
    	Problem with ZAP...
    
    	Does ZAP work with DSM processes?  A user instructed me that a
    	ZAP killed process will cause database corruption if the process,
    	that was 'Zapped' was in a database?   How is the process stopped?
    
    	STOP/ID?
    
    
    	Thanks

92.1$DELPRC used to kill users ZAPDEV::MACONIThe Doctor is InMon May 20 1991 12:2410
ZAP uses the $DELPRC system service to stop users on the system.  This is the
equivilent of using the STOP/ID= command at DCL level.

Data corruption is a function of the program and the language it is written in.
Being stopped by ZAP is the same as being disconnected from the system.  If a
rundown procedure has been specified in the program, it should be executed.  An
example of this is that in most languages, if you type ^Y all of your files are
automatically closed.

I do not know about the particular program you mentioned, but it is possible.
92.2Is a routine available?LARVAE::BEALESecurity is a Thumb and a Blanket...Fri Nov 06 1992 11:246
    18 months later can I re-open this query.
    
    Has anyone provided a User routine to run down DSM (Digital Standard
    MUMPS) processes when they are identified as idle by ZAP.
    
    Location of such would save us some work. Any offers???
