stopManager command

The stopManager command reads the configuration file for the Network Deployment manager process.

It sends a JMX command to the manager telling it to shut down. By default, the stopManager command waits for the manager to complete the shutdown process before it returns control to the command line. There is a -nowait option to return immediately, as well as other options to control the behavior of the stopManager command. For more information about where to run this command, see the Using command tools article.

Although the stopServer command returns control when the server completes shut down, it can return before the OS/400 process has terminated. Depending upon the amount of memory which the Java virtual machine must return to the memory pool, the process may take several seconds or minutes to completely end. You should not attempt to start the server again until the process has terminated. Use the WRKACTJOB SBS(subsystem) CL command to determine if the process has terminated completely. By default, the subsystem is QWAS61.

Syntax

The command syntax is as follows:

stopManager [<server>] [options]

Parameters

The following options are available for the stopManager command:

-nowait

Tells the stopManager command not to wait for successful shutdown of the deployment manager process.

-quiet

Suppresses the progress information that the stopManager command prints in normal mode.

-logfile <fileName>

Location of the log file to which trace information is written. By default, the log file is named stopServer.log and is created in your logs directory.

-profileName

Defines the profile of the Application Server process in a multi-profile installation. The -profileName option is not required for running in a single profile environment. The default for this option is the default profile.

-replacelog

Replaces the log file instead of appending to the current log.

-trace

Generates trace information to a file for debugging purposes. The trace output is written to the stopmanager.log file which is located in the profile_root/logs directory.

-timeout <seconds>

Specifies the waiting time for the manager to complete shutdown before timing out and returning an error.

-statusport <portNumber>

Specifies that an administrator can set the port number for server status callback.

-conntype <type>

Specifies the JMX connector type to use for connecting to the deployment manager. Valid types are SOAP or Remote Method Invocation (RMI).

-port <portNumber>

Specifies the deployment manager JMX port to use explicitly, so that you can avoid reading the configuration files to obtain information.

-username <name>

User name for authentication if security is enabled in the deployment manager. Acts the same as the -user option.

-user <name>

User name for authentication if security is enabled in the deployment manager. Acts the same as the -username option.

-password <password>

Password for authentication if security is enabled in the deployment manager.

Note: If you are running in a secure environment but have not provided a user ID and password, you receive the following error message:

ADMN0022E: Access denied for the stop operation on Server MBean due 
to insufficient or empty credentials.

To solve this problem, provide the user ID and password information.

-help

Prints a usage statement.

-?

Prints a usage statement.

Usage scenario

The following examples demonstrate correct syntax:
