rp_kill

Shut down a group of OpenSwitch connections.

You can also use OpenSwitch Manager to terminate connections.

rp_kill [pool_name, srv_name, spid]

pool_name: The name of the pool for which the connections should be shut down. Supplying only this argument causes all connections within pool_name to be shut down.

srv_name: Shuts down connections to remote server srv_name. Supplying only this argument causes all connections to srv_name to be shut down.

spid: Shuts down the connection identified within OpenSwitch by spid. If this argument is specified, pool_name and srv_name are ignored.

Shuts down the OpenSwitch connection represented by spid 8 (as identified by rp_who).

1> rp_kill NULL, NULL, 8
2> go

Shuts down all connections currently established to pool POOL_A.

1> rp_kill "POOL_A", NULL, NULL
2> go

Shuts down all connections currently established to pool POOL_A on server SYB_SERV2.

1> rp_kill "POOL_A", "SYB_SERV2", NULL
2> go

If no arguments are supplied to rp_kill, all connections are killed within OpenSwitch. Use this procedure with caution.
spid refers to the OpenSwitch process ID, not the process ID in the remote Adaptive Server.
To generate a report on the current connections, execute rp_who.
Shutting down a connection causes it to be forcibly removed from OpenSwitch. No messages are delivered to the client.
