Option 3 gives you an immediate disconnection. This allows
only current DL/I requests to DBCTL from this CICS system
to be completed before CICS is disconnected from DBCTL.
Specifying a DBCTL system identifier
(DBCTLID)
A field on the CDBC panel enables you to use the CDBC
transaction to specify a DBCTLID to override the one in the
DRA startup table. The syntax for connection to DBCTL via
CDBC is:
CDBC CONNECT [SUFFIX(xx)] [DBCTLID(yyyy)]
For more details on using CDBC, see the
CICS IMS
Database Control Guide

The HELP panel
If you press the help key (PF1), the following panel is
displayed:
HELP : CICS-DBCTL CONNECTION/DISCONNECTION

table suffix, or accept the existing suffix. The id of the DBCTL system is
obtained from the startup table, but can be optionally overridden.
To DISCONNECT from DBCTL, select option 2 or option 3.
Select option 2 for ORDERLY disconnection: this allows all CICS-DBCTL
transactions from this CICS to complete before disconnecting from DBCTL.

requests from this CICS to complete before disconnecting from DBCTL.
