When the network connection is lost, the Handler process automatically shuts down. The next service request sent causes the Listener to automatically start a new Handler, if necessary.

Use the supplied shutdown transaction BDWN to terminate active TMA TCP for CICS programs. Depending on the options specified, this causes all Handlers to shut down gracefully. The name of the BDWN transaction may have been changed at your site during installation, so verify the name.
