ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for generating a data logout in a computing environment having a processor and an input/output subsystem for receiving data from and sending data to the processor. The method comprises the steps of the input/output subsystem maintaining a defined set of data; at defined time, the processor issuing a data logout command; and sending said data logout command to the input/output subsystem. In response to receiving said data logout command, the input/output subsystem sends said defined set of data to a specified location. In a preferred implementation, the input/output subsystem includes a channel subsystem and a plurality of input/output devices, and the data logout command is sent to one of the input/output devices. Also, in the preferred embodiment, the channel subsystem includes a channel control unit function and the data logout command is sent to the channel control unit function.
